We are the curators of life on earth. We hold it in the palm of our hand.

as a physician I examine the dying planet as I do a dying patient. The earth has a natural system of interacting homeostatic mechanisms similar to the human body's. If one system is diseased, like the ozone layer, then other systems develop abnormalities in function - the crops will die, the plankton will be damaged, and the eyes of all creatures on the planet will become diseased and vision impaired.

It is clear to me that unless we connect directly with the earth, we will not have the faintest clue why we should save it.

Patriotism is nationalism, and always leads to war.

I have witnessed the takeover of my world by plastic.

As a doctor, as well as a mother and a world citizen, I wish to practice the ultimate form of preventive medicine by ridding the earth of these technologies that propagate disease, suffering, and death.

in terms of the biology of the planet, development is a euphemism for destruction.
