“Food security is an authentically human requirement. Guaranteeing it for present and future generations also means safeguarding ourselves against the uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources. Indeed, the process of consumption and waste seems to overlook any concern for ... biodiversity, which is so important for agriculture.” HumansMeanImportantSeemsProcessNaturalGenerationsLandSecurityWasteResourcesConcernConsumptionAgricultureExploitationRequirementsFuture GenerationNatural ResourcesBiodiversityFood SecuritySafeguarding Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“At best Americans give but a limited attention to history. Too much happens too rapidly, and before we can evaluate it, or exhaust its meaning or pleasure, there is something new to concern us.

“... For all our alarm, it is clear that the religious right is responding to a real hunger in our society... a deep-seated yearning for stable values... When conservative Christian groups talk of failures in our educational system, the erosion of our moral standards, and the waste of young lives, they are addressing real and legitimate concerns... Among secularists, the aversion toward discussion of moral values, let alone religion, can reach absurd extremes.” RealChristianYoungValuesReligiousMoralClearGroupsWasteStandardsConcernHungerConservativeEducationalExtremesAbsurdDiscussionOur SocietyYearningStableAlarmsRespondingAversionEducational SystemMoral ValuesErosionYoung Life Author:Norman Lear
“Many concerns now make part or the whole of their dividends from by-products that formerly went to waste. How do we, as individuals, utilize our principal by-product? Our principal by-product is, of course, our leisure time. Many years of observation forces the conclusion that a man's success or failure in life is determined as much by how he acts during his leisure as by how he acts during his work hours. Tell me how a young man spends his evenings and I will tell you how he is likely to spend the latter part of his life.” MenYearsWholeYoungLife IsCoursesIndividualForceHoursProductsWasteConcernDeterminedConclusionObservationEveningYoung ManLatterLeisurePrincipalDividendsSuccess Or FailureFailure In LifeLeisure Time Author:B.

“You know that the air and water are being polluted, as is everything we touch and live with, and we go on corrupting the nature that we need. We don't realize we have a commitment to God to take care of nature.

“Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas.
