Switching to all organic food production is the single most critical (and most doable) action we can take right now to stop our climate crisis.

I would love to see us all succeed together, but we will do what we have to do to succeed and survive in that sustainable way that benefits everyone.

Organic is something we can all partake of and benefit from. When we demand organic, we are demanding poison-free food. We are demanding clean air. We are demanding pure, fresh water. We are demanding soil that is free to do its job and seeds that are free of toxins. We are demanding that our children be protected from harm. We all need to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done—buy organic whenever we can, insist on organic, fight for organic and work to make it the norm. We must make organic the conventional choice and not the exception available only to the rich and educated.

I don't make promises.

People develop their health habits when they're kids, and that carries through their whole life.

Why do we keep believing that we can control nature,even as it banishes us repeatedly from our homes in search of new fertile ground?

When the internet came along, everybody said it would mean the death of television, newspapers. There is a dip, and it comes back to a new normal. We're in the dip; we're waiting to see what the new normal is.
