“Both rich and poor nations have a common stake in policies that put the globe on a sustainable development path. The conflict is less between poor and rich countries than between the broad interests of people and the narrow interests of extractive industries. We need to find our way towards some kind of global regime that reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases, but well-off nations need to transfer the technology to make this possible, rather than viewing this shift as one more opportunity for private industry to profit.” PeopleWayNeedsWellsKindCountryOpportunityNationsInterestPoorCommonTechnologyPathRichPolicyDevelopmentIndustryConflictProfitGlobal WarmingBroadsStakesRegimesGlobesTransfersRich And PoorEmissionsSustainable DevelopmentGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesRich CountriesPoor Nations Author:Robert Kuttner

“To do God's will as fast as it is made known to us, to inquire hourly -- I had almost said each moment -- what He requires of us, and to leave ourselves, our friends, and every interest at His control, with a cheerful trust that the path which He marks out leads to our perfection and to Himself, -- this is at once our duty and happiness; and why will we not walk in the plain, simple way?.” WayMadeSaidMomentsInterestSimpleWalksKnownPathDutyPerfectionMarkGods WillCheerfulCheerfulnessSimple Ways Book:Memoir of William Ellery Channing, with extracts from his correspondence and manuscripts ...

“There is an Arabic proverb which says that "Peace comes from understanding, not agreement." Agreements are more easily broken than made; but understanding never. It is urgent, therefore, and in the interest of peace, that there be better understanding among nations. As people we are one, seeking the same goal. As nations, we lose each other down the different paths we choose to fulfill our national objectives. that is why we must understand each other better.” PeopleMadeDifferentNationsUnderstandingGoalInterestLosesPathBrokenSeekingObjectivesAgreementUrgentDifferent Paths Author:King Hussein I
“Some people hate the very name of statistics, but I find them full of beauty and interest. Whenever they are not brutalized, but delicately handled by the higher methods, and are warily interpreted, their power of dealing with complicated phenomena is extraordinary.

“My interest, perhaps, came out of the trauma of being a young immigrant in this country and constantly feeling my "resident alien" status. I remember trying to learn English on kindergarten playgrounds. I tried hard to be a convincing American but it was a losing battle. I was labeled weird and that tag never left me - all through high school, I was always the oddball. It was not always an easy path - I just had to tell myself that one day, being on the periphery would become an asset (and I think it finally has, as a creative adult).” ThinkingTryingCountryHardFeelingsSchoolRememberYoungLeftEasyInterestCreativePathBattleOne DayLosingHigh SchoolAdultsTraumaAliensImmigrantsAssetsConvincingTagPlaygroundsResidentsKindergartenPeripheryOddballs Author:Porochista Khakpour

“Tourism is the sum total of the travel experience. It is not just what happens at the destination. It involves everything that a person sees and does from the time he or she leaves home until the vacation is over. Getting there can be half the fun, but frequently it is not. There are many great destinations in America, but, unfortunately, there are very few great journeys left, which is why it is in the interest of the tourism industry to encourage the development of greenways, heritage corridor, bike paths, hiking trails, and other forms of alternative transportation.” PersonsDoeHomeHappensAmericaFormLeftFunInterestHalfPathJourneyDevelopmentIndustryAlternativesDestinationHeritageVacationHikingBikeTrailsTransportationTourismCorridorsTravel ExperienceGreat JourneysTourism Industry Author:Ed McMahon
