Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.

If the corporations have their way, the Earth will be killed, and that's in your lifetime. It's revolting to me that students are being trained to work in corporations. It's obscene to me that the corporations are running the world. We've got to get cross. Anger is an appropriate emotion.

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.

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.

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

Terrorists do not actually need nuclear weapons. They have been conveniently supplied with 103 nuclear power plants scattered throughout the United States (438 of these deadly facilities exist throughout the world). A planned meltdown at one of these facilities would make the World Trade Center attacks seem like child's play. The massive concrete containers protecting the reactors are not strong enough to withstand the impact of a jumbo jet.

I have witnessed the takeover of my world by plastic.
