If everyone thinks you have a good idea, you´re too late

We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.

We are the only species on this planet without full employment.

The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces, or at least not try to defy them

When the planes still swoop down and aerial spray a field in order to kill a predator insect with pesticides, we are in the Dark Ages of commerce. Maybe one thousandth of this aerial insecticide actually prevents the infestation. The balance goes to the leaves, into the soil, into the water, into all forms of wildlife, into ourselves. What is good for the balance sheet is wasteful of resources and harmful to life.

It is critical to realize that underlying the extermination of nature is the marginalization of human beings. If we are to save what is wild, what is irreparable and majestic in nature, then we will ironically have to turn to each other and take care of all the human beings here on Earth. There is no boundary that will protect an environment from a suffering humanity.

I'd rather fail at something important than succeed at something trivial.
