“Our oil-based society depends on non-renewable resources. It requires relentless probing into vast reaches of pristine land, sacrificing vital bioregions, and irreplaceable cultures. The possibility of catastrophic climate change is substantially increased by the 40 million barrels of oil burned every day by vehicles. We must all move shoulder to shoulder in a unified front to show this administration that the true majority of people are willing to vote for a cleaner environment and won't back down.” PeopleShowsMovingCultureMillionsEnvironmentSacrificeLandFrontsPossibilityWillingDependsResourcesVoteMajorityClimateClimate ChangeOilShouldersAdministrationVehicleBurnedEcologyRelentlessBarrelsCleanersUnifiedIrreplaceablePristineProbingRenewable Resources Author:Leonardo DiCaprio
“The natural world around us shows the way to relief. All of life is maintained by the sun, by the air, by water, by the earth and its resources. And to whom was the sun given? To everyone. If there is any one thing that people do have in common, it is the gift of sunlight. But as the early Christians said, "If the sun were not hung so high, someone would have claimed it long ago."” PeopleIfsWorldWayLongSaidShowsEarthChristianLife IsEnergyGivenWaterNaturalCommonSunOne ThingAirResourcesAlternativesReliefSunlightLong AgoHungNatural World Book:Eberhard Arnold: Writings Selected with an Introduction Source: Eberhard Arnold: Writings Selected with an Introduction
“The gap between the rich and poor is growing among and within most nations. The political and social effects of unequal location of energy and other mineral resources are acute. Population numbers continue to climb. The global environment shows signs of widespread deterioration. Both natural and social environments are increasingly vulnerable to catastrophic disturbances... There may, however, be a cheering challenge in the possibility that out of its struggle with these realities the human race may move a bit nearer to behaving as if it were indeed one family.” IfsHumansMayShowsRealityMovingPoliticalEnergyNationsSocialBitsNaturalChallengesPoorNumbersRaceStruggleRichEnvironmentGrowingEffectsPossibilityResourcesEnvironmentalPopulationVulnerableHuman RaceClimbsGapsCheerLocationRich And PoorDisturbanceMineralsDeteriorationSocial EnvironmentMineral Resources Author:Gilbert F.

“Unquenchable is a worthy successor to Cadillac Desert that ably demonstrates how our most valuable resource is being squandered, ignored, and flushed away. Although it reminds us that water is indeed finite, Unquenchable clearly shows us the solutions to the greatest threat of the 21st century are limited only by politics and greed.” ShowsWaterCenturySolutionsResourcesThreatGreedValuableWorthyDesertIgnored21st CenturyFiniteSuccessorsCadillacs Author:Terry Tamminen
