Peace, non-violence, human rights and the environment - if only everybody saw these as the seamless whole that they are

We are now running out of time, and the question now is not what is happening to the climate, but how bad will it be before the world starts doing enough?

I think we will work our way towards a position that says that having more than two children is irresponsible.

The future will be green, or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of humankind's most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis.

"The ultimate recession": a recession caused not by failed regulation and bankers' greed, but by very high oil prices, food and water shortages, disappearing forests, accelerating climate change, forced migration and mass civil disruption...The long and the short of it, unfortunately, is this: more politicians still believe that economic recovery depends on continuing to live beyond our means (financially and ecologically) than on learning to live within our means. And that's why the ultimate "Perfect Storm" recession still looms on the horizon

I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate.

We're never going to scare people into living more sustainably! We have to be able to demonstrate just how dynamic and aspirational such a world could be
