I lived through the Cold War as a child, and we always thought a nuclear bomb could end life everywhere at any time. On one hand, it created an atmosphere where you lived for the moment - because it could end at any second - but on the other, it warped a generation into thinking t there was no reasonable expectation of building a future that could be vaporized at any moment by a few morons.

The action we take in the next few years will impact the Earth hundreds of millions of years from now.

Half of all species on Earth could disappear by the end of the century because of our collective impact.

Humanity is creating an extinction event that will make every war ever fought a footnote to history. We belong to the only generation in history that can turn this around - we're one step away from greatness or the biggest disaster since the meteor wiped out the dinosaurs.

To me, you’re either an activist or an inactivist.

What gives me hope is art - it's the most powerful weapons ever created. It's a weapon of mass construction.

Cowspiracy may be the most important film made to inspire saving the planet.
