August 28th 2012. Remember that date. It marks the day when the world went raving mad.

Why is it so easy to save the banks - but so hard to save the biosphere?

Progress is measured by the speed at which we destroy the conditions that sustain life.

Change arises from conviction. Stop voting in fear. Start voting for hope.

Every time someone dies as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drowned.
