Conventional economics is a form of brain damage. Economics is so fundamentally disconnected from the real world, it is destructive.

Water is our most precious resource, but we waste it, just as we waste other resources, including oil and gas.

On December 7, 1941, an event took place that had nothing to do with me or my family and yet which had devastating consequences for all of us - Japan bombed Pearl Harbour in a surprise attack.

If we want to move towards a low-polluting, sustainable society, we need to get consumers to think about their purchases.

Conserving energy and thus saving money, reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries, but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us.

Just as human activity is upsetting Earth's carbon cycle, our actions are altering the water cycle.

Change is never easy, and it often creates discord, but when people come together for the good of humanity and the Earth, we can accomplish great things.
