American democracy is supposed to be the paradigm for the rest of the world.

Most Americans don't know about environmental problems, because we have in our country a negligent and indolent press. The biggest lie that the right wing holds in our country is that there is such a thing as a liberal media. Americans are getting their news from the right-wing media.

We protect nature not for nature's sake but for our own sake because it's the infrastructure of our communities.

The most patriotic thing you can do is to take care of the environment and try to live sustainably.

Those guys are doing the Koch Brothers bidding and are against all the evidence of the rational mind, saying global warming does not exit. They are contemptible human beings. I wish there were a law you could punish them with. I don’t think there is a law that you can punish those politicians under.

Resurrecting American democracy is vital to averting climate catastrophe. We must first repeal the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling, which has flooded elections with billions of oily petrodollars from carbon tycoons.

I think we as Americans know there's a much better alternative than the 17th century practice of burning rocks to power our economy.
