To harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

Your religion was written on tablets of stone, ours on our hearts. 8. We are part of the earth and the earth is part of us.

All creation is one. What we do to one, we do to the entire web of life.

My words are like the stars that never change.

Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

We are part of the earth and it is part of us ... What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth.
