All life is part of a complex relationship in which each is dependent upon the others, taking from, giving to and living with all the rest.

We are living in an interminable succession of absurdities imposed by the myopic logic of short-term thinking.

I believe that national sovereignties will shrink in the face of universal interdependence.

The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it.

However fragmented the world, however intense the national rivalries, it is an inexorable fact that we become more interdependent every day.

We must alert and organise the world's people to pressure world leaders to take specific steps to solve the two root causes of our environmental crises - exploding population growth and wasteful consumption of irreplaceable resources. Overconsumption and overpopulation underlie every environmental problem we face today.

And let us remember too that life, in its exuberance, always succeeds in overflowing the narrow limits within which man thinks he can confine it.
