Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby.

The U.S. population, a mere four or five percent of the world total, creates half the world's toxic waste.

The whole world is being 'deculturalized' into a uniform 'Coca-Cola society,' wanting and needing an American way of life.

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.

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

Capitalism is destroying the earth.

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.
