[Quote No.49738] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"Myth: we have to save the earth. Frankly, the earth doesn't need to be saved. Nature doesn't give a hoot if human beings are here or not. The planet has survived cataclysmic and catastrophic changes for millions upon millions of years. Over that time, it is widely believed, 99 percent of all species have come and gone while the planet has remained. Saving the environment is really about saving our environment -- making it safe for ourselves, our children, and the world as we know it. If more people saw the issue as one of saving themselves, we would probably see increased motivation and commitment to actually do so." - Robert M. Lilienfeld and William L. Rathje
(1953 - ) Robert M. Lilienfeld, management consultant and author; (1945 - ) William L. Rathje, archaeologist and author.

"If you love a flower, don't pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation." - Osho

[Quote No.50875] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"Business [in fact all of life] needs to be considered from the point of all stakeholders and therefore a triple bottom line perspective is useful - a financial bottom line for the owners, a social bottom line for the workers and the customers and an environmental bottom line for all those living now and in the future.

"[Song lyrics to the music of 'America, the Beautiful'.]
Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.

[Quote No.53839] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"It is not enough to [just] fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space." - Edward Abbey

[Quote No.54344] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"[A story - with a message about everyone's inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and private property so long as they respect the same rights for others:] - 'In The Same Boat!' -
Two men were out on the ocean in a boat.
One of them began drilling in the bottom of the boat, and the other, aghast said ‘What are you doing? Stop drilling!’.
And the first man replied: ‘It's all right. I'm only drilling on my side.’ " - Unknown

[Quote No.57489] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"This is the first moment in the history of our planet when any species, by its own voluntary actions, has become a danger to itself - as well as to vast numbers of others.
It might be a familiar progression, transpiring on many worlds - a planet, newly formed, placidly revolves around its star; life slowly forms; a kaleidoscopic procession of creatures evolves; intelligence emerges which, at least up to a point, confers enormous survival value; and then technology is invented. It dawns on them that there are such things as laws of Nature, that these laws can be revealed by experiment, and that knowledge of these laws can be made both to save and to take lives, both on unprecedented scales. Science, they recognize, grants immense powers. In a flash, they create world-altering contrivances. Some planetary civilizations see their way through, place limits on what may and what must not be done, and safely pass through the time of perils. Others, not so lucky or so prudent, perish." - Carl Sagan
(1934-1996), American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences. Quote from his book, ‘Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space’, published 1994.

[Quote No.57717] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"Humans have a tendency to fall prey to the illusion that their economy is at the very center of the universe, forgetting that the biosphere is what ultimately sustains all systems, both man-made and natural. In this sense, ‘environmental issues’ are not about saving the planet -- it will always survive and evolve with new combinations of atoms -- but about the prosperous development of our own species.

[Quote No.59056] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"[A healthy, natural diet:] It is increasingly obvious that environmentally sustainable solutions to world hunger can only emerge as people eat more plant foods and fewer animal products. To me it is deeply moving that the same food choices that give us the best chance to eliminate world hunger are also those that take the least toll on the environment, contribute the most to our long-term health, are the safest, and are also, far and away, the most compassionate towards our fellow creatures." - John Robbins

[Quote No.59764] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"[A healthy, natural diet = High 'good' carbohydrate diet = 'WFPB-whole food, plant based':] Although two-thirds of the world’s population depends on cereal or tuber-based diets, the other one-third consumes significant amounts of animal food products. The latter group places an undue demand on land, water, and other resources required for intensive food production, which makes the typical Western diet not only undesirable from the standpoint of health but also environmentally unsustainable. If we balance energy intake with the expenditure required for basal metabolism, physical activity, growth, and repair, we will find that the dietary quality required for health is essentially the same across population groups." - World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations
Quote from 'Human Vitamin and Mineral Requirements: Report of a joint FAO/WHO expert consultation, Bangkok, Thailand.' Published by WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION and FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS, Rome, 2002. [http://www.fao.org/docrep/004/y2809e/y2809e00.htm ]

"We must not only protect the country side and save it from destruction, we must restore what has been destroyed and salvage the beauty and charm of our cities ... Once our natural splendor is destroyed, it can never be recaptured. And once man can no longer walk with beauty or wonder at nature, his spirit will wither and his sustenance be wasted." - Lyndon B. Johnson

[Quote No.61473] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"'Environment' is not an abstract concern, or simply a matter of aesthetics, or of personal taste - although it can and should involve these as well. Man is shaped to a great extent by his surroundings. Our physical nature, our mental health, our culture and institutions, our opportunities for challenge and fulfillment, our very survival - all of these are directly related to and affected by the environment in which we live. They depend upon the continued healthy functioning of the natural systems of the Earth." - Richard M. Nixon

[Quote No.61474] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"If we've learned any lessons during the past few decades, perhaps the most important is that preservation of our environment is not a partisan challenge; it's common sense. Our physical health, our social happiness, and our economic well-being will be sustained only by all of us working in partnership as thoughtful, effective stewards of our natural resources." - Ronald Reagan

[Quote No.63321] Need Area: Property > Conservation
"Do not limit it [gentle sensitivity - empathy] to the suffering of men, but extend your humanity even to animals. Do not make any which belong to you unhappy; do not neglect their welfare; do not be insensitive to their naive and sincere gratitude; cause them no unnecessary pain. Anything of the sort would be a true injustice and an insult to nature, who would punish you by the hardness of heart which habitual cruelty must produce!!" - Marquis de Condorcet
(1743-1794), Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, French philosopher, mathematician, social scientist, economist, gentleman, politician and humanitarian. From his ‘Advice To My Daughter’, which was written in 1794, for his daughter who was born in 1790 and sent to the country with his wife for safety during his leading role in the French Revolution.
