I was pretty shocked to learn that as many as 30,000 elephants are being killed every year to fuel the ivory trade, despite an international ban since 1989, and that 60% of forest elephants have already been wiped out. At this rate, experts say populations will become extinct in the next decade. No one needs ivory.

We are the environment. The world is literally one biological process. The trees are our lungs. Look at the Amazon River system next to a human cardiovascular system, look at corals or trees and look at our lungs, you literally cannot tell the difference. They’re the same. So when we destroy our environment, we’re effectively destroying ourselves.

I don't need to make money destroying my environment. Why don't I just love it and figure out a way to be more sustainable?

A lot of things that happen in the world make me a bit crazy.

What we're doing to the planet is inexcusable.

To explore different parts of yourself and different emotional lives... not to hide from who you are but to actually explore who you are.

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.
