We can't see ahead of time what actions are going to be the ones that move history in dramatic ways.

What is different and exciting is how much we have learned. We learned we were right that we don't need the chemical model of agriculture. We know so much more about the life of soil now and we understand how plants synergistically work together with microbes and animals to create healthy conditions.

Individuality doesn't just mean individualism-standing alone. It means developing one's unique gifts, and being able to share them for the enjoyment of oneself and others.

much agricultural land which might be growing food is being used instead to 'grow' money (in the form of coffee, tea, etc.).

I never like to use those terms [like pessimistic].

I also believe that it's almost impossible for people to change alone. We need to join with others who will push us in our thinking and challenge us to do things we didn't believe ourselves capable of.

Every choice we make can be a celebration of the world we want.
