“Something bad happened on both Mars with its dried-up watercourses and Venus with its runaway greenhouse effect. Could something bad happen on Earth too?

“Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of tomorrow. It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.” PeopleWellsImportantTodayHumanityDevelopmentBalanceTomorrowCapableModelsDrawsConcernedPressureRegardAimEnvironmentalDialogueConclusionWell BeingExpertsReachingAgreementSustainabilityIdeologicalEcologicalAssessmentSustainable DevelopmentHastyEcological Balance Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“When we conduct agriculture, we are, therefore, altering the ecological arrangement that was responsible for our genesis as a species. I think that this is the reason that this alienation has allowed us to see and regard land mostly as a resource. So we have created a problem for ourselves from the word "go," for land is not a resource any more than humans are resources.” ThinkingHumansReasonProblemLandResourcesResponsibleRegardSpeciesEnvironmentalSustainabilityAgricultureArrangementsAlienationGenesisEcological Author:Wes Jackson
“Both group effort and individual testimony flow from conviction as to the role of people on earth. In stewardship of the common heritage, a few simple beliefs recur: that all are indeed members of the same human family, that all share in responsibility for the others, that each is capable of responding directly to divine guidance. To seek to translate these into practical action with regard to soil or petroleum or the fish of the sea is not necessarily to do what is directly effective in changing society.” PeopleHumansActionEarthIndividualBeliefSimpleCommonEffortResponsibilityRolesGroupsSeaShareDivineMembersCapableFlowRegardEnvironmentalFishesConvictionPracticalsGuidanceSoilHeritageTranslateTestimonyStewardshipRespondingHuman FamilyPetroleumDivine GuidanceGroup Effort Author:Gilbert F.

“The message from all quarters is the same: our undisciplined consumption must end.

“Many of us regard ourselves as mildly liberal or centrist politically, voice fairly pleasant sentiments about our poor children, contribute money to send poor kids to summer camp, feel benevolent. We're not nazis; we're nice people. We read sophisticated books. We go to church. We go to synagogue. Meanwhile, we put other people's children into an economic and environmental death zone. We make it hard for them to get out. We strip the place bare of amenities. And we sit back and say to ourselves, "Well, I hope that they don't kill each other off. But if they do, it's not my fault.” PeopleIfsFeelsWellsChildrenBookHardKidsVoiceChurchPoorNiceEconomicSummerRegardFaultsEnvironmentalPleasantZoneSentimentsCampsSophisticatedNaziBenevolentNice PeopleSynagogueSummer CampAmenitiesPoor Children Author:Jonathan Kozol

“Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free that can look and understand immediately.
