I think a lot of us are increasingly recognizing that the dominant culture is killing the planet.

If your homeland were invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?

Learning has to come from doing, not intellectualizing.

The big dividing line is not and has never been between those who advocate more or less militant forms of resistance, or between mainstream and grassroots activists. The dividing line is between those who do something and those who do nothing.

Civilization can never be sustainable.

Those in power have made it so we have to pay simply to exist on the planet. We have to pay for a place to sleep, and we have to pay for food. If we don't, people with guns come and force us to pay. That's violent.

We cannot hope to create a sustainable culture with any but sustainable souls.
