| We must take bold and unequivocal action: we must make
the rescue of the environment the central organizing principle for civilization
. . . we are now engaged in an epic battle to right the balance of our earth;
the tide of this battle will turn only when the majority of people become
sufficiently aroused by a shared sense of urgent danger to join an all-out
effort. It is time to come to terms with exactly how this can be
accomplished. |
I believe in a created universe where all things have
place and purpose and where we humans are challenged everyday to make this
a better place. I believe it is our obligation to act respectfully toward
all living things and to manifest an approach to life in which the dignity
of all species is sustained and common interests flourish. It is my belief
that we must learn all that we can about our world in order to live upon
it wisely. |
