“The gradual depletion of the ozone layer and the related "greenhouse effect" has now reached crisis proportions as a consequence of industrial growth, massive urban concentrations and vastly increased energy needs. Industrial waste, the burning of fossil fuels, unrestricted deforestation, the use of certain types of herbicides, coolants and propellants: all of these are known to harm the atmosphere and environment.” NeedsUseCertainEnergyGrowthKnownEnvironmentEffectsTypeWasteConsequenceCrisisEnvironmentalHarmBurningAtmosphereRelatedProportionFuelConcentrationMassiveSustainabilityLayersUrbanFossilsFossil FuelGreenhousesDeforestationOzoneOzone LayerHerbicides Author:Pope John Paul II

“Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis. I'm normally very, very organized in the middle of chaos, and then when I have nothing to focus on, extremely disorganized, and I tend to waste a lot of time.” EnoughFocusMiddleWasteCrisisChaosCalmNot SureOrganizedDisorganized Author:Grant Bowler

“This curious faith is predicated on the notion that we will soon develop unlimited new sources of energy: domestic oil fields, shale oil, gasified coal, nuclear power, solar energy, and so on. This is fantastical because the basic cause of the energy crisis is not scarcity: it is moral ignorance and weakness of character. We don't know how to use energy or what to use it for. And we cannot restrain ourselves. Our time is characterized as much by the abuse and waste of human energy as it is by the abuse and waste of fossil fuel energy.” KnowsHumansCharacterUseEnergyCausesMoralKnow HowFieldsIgnoranceSourceWasteWeaknessAbuseCrisisNotionOilNuclearCuriousOur TimeFuelUnlimitedCoalFossilsFossil FuelScarcityRenewable EnergyNuclear PowerEnergy SourcesSolar EnergyEnergy PolicyEnergy FieldsEnergy UseRenewable Energy SourcesEnergy CrisisOil FieldWeakness Of Character Book:The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture Source: The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture

“Careless of waste, wallowing in refuse, exterminating the enemies . . . despising age, denying human natural history, fabricating pseudotraditions, swamped in the repeated personal crises of the aging preadolescent; all are familiar images of American society. They are signs of private nightmares of incoherence and disorder in broken climaxes where technologies in pursuit of mastery create ever-worsening problems - private nightmares expanded to a social level.” HumansProblemAgeSocialNaturalLevelsEnemyTechnologyBrokenWasteCrisisAgingHistoricalRefusePursuitFamiliarPrivacyNightmareDisorderMasteryCarelessAmerican SocietyClimaxNatural HistoryWallowingIncoherence Author:Paul Shepard
“The popes have spoken of human ecology, closely linked to environmental ecology. We are living in a time of crisis: we see this in the environment, but above all we see this in mankind Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules. God our Father did not give the task of caring for the earth to money, but to us, to men and women: we have this task! Instead, men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the 'culture of waste.'” MenGivingHumansTodayEarthCultureFatherEnvironmentMankindWasteMen And WomenTasksCrisisEnvironmentalProfitCaringIdolsConsumptionEcologyPopeLinkedOur FatherTimes Of Crisis Author:Pope Francis
“Savings represent much more than mere money value. They are the proof that the saver is worth something in himself. Any fool can waste; any fool can muddle; but it takes something more of a man to save and the more he saves the more of a man he makes of himself. Waste and extravagance unsettle a man's mind for every crisis; thrift, which means some form of self-restraint, steadies it.” MenMindMeanSelfFormValuesFoolWasteCrisisMereProofSavingRestraintSavingsSaving MoneyThriftExtravaganceSelf RestraintMuddle Author:Rudyard Kipling
