Predators make it much more difficult to find consensus. It's a lot easier to agree about birds and plants than about animals that endanger people and livestock.

I think the greatest challenge in environmentalism and the most rewarding challenge is trying to figure out how humans can meet their needs while protecting the environment.

Human beings are going to be relying on natural resources for a long time.

Why has it seemed that the only way to protect the environment is with heavy-handed government regulation?

My schedulers keep getting driven crazy by the fact that they can't fit hikes in my schedule.

Local innovation and initiative can help us better understand how to protect our environment.

I believe strongly that we need to get beyond rhetoric, beyond industry and environmentalists fighting with each other, and seriously solve problems.
