We need the sea. We need a place to stand and touch and listen - to feel the pusle of the world as the surf rolls in.

The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.

It is absolutely imperative that we protect, preserve and pass on this genetic heritage for man and every other living thing in as good a condition as we received it.

We may learn anew what compassion and beauty are, and pause to listen to the Earth's music.

Overpopulation is perhaps the biggest problem facing us, and immigration is part of that problem. It has to be addressed.

I believe in the rights of creatures other than man.

There is no business on a dead planet
