Food is just the greatest joy on the planet.

Ethical systems and practices need to look good. They have to be desirable, well-designed and work well.

I think it's important that we run that tension between the way things are, in terms of the way we're governed, and the way we sort of become complacent.

I want to show people that environmentalism can be fun!

I enjoy pumping iron, but I do try and get the yoga, 'cause it's a nice balance to the weightlifting.

I've always been a very rebellious, philosophical person, so my mother set the foundation for my appreciation for nature and my empathy for other people. But then, being a sort of rebellious, philosophical thinker, I'm always looking for new ways to shake things up. So I feel like I'm really lucky to be alive in a time where there's so much opportunity to disrupt and shake it up. It's sort of a combination between that and having the foundation that my mother gave me.

I really do believe that in order to overcome our environmental shortcomings, we have to act united as a people, and that means that every individual has to participate and do their part. Certainly, we need government and legislation, but the governments really listen to people, so we all have to bring to the table our own effort or our own passion in whatever way that manifests itself.
