So, what we do as individuals matters. It adds up.

What pleases me most is that sustainable development is on almost everybody's agenda now.

A shift is necessary toward lifestyles less geared to environmental damaging consumption patterns.

A citizen of an advanced industrialized nation consumes in six months the energy and raw materials that have to last the citizen of a developing country his entire lifetime.

Ted Turner is still a leader. And he sets a great example. His ability financially has been reduced, but his influence and his example still is an important asset to the whole environmental movement.

Also, it is interesting that developing countries, with China and India perhaps in the lead, where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development.

We're either going to save the world or no one will be saved.
