Naomi Klein Quotes About Earth

• Our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction of humanity's use of resources; what our economic model demands to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it's not the laws of nature

• We live in this culture of endless extraction and disposal: extraction from the earth, extraction from people's bodies, from communities, as if there's no limit, as if there's no consequence to how we're taking and disposing, and as if it can go on endlessly. We are reaching the breaking point on multiple levels. Communities are breaking, the planet is breaking, people's bodies are breaking. We are taking too much.

• En términos pragmáticos, nuestro reto consiste menos en salvar a la Tierra de nosotros mismos que en salvarnos de una Tierra que, si se la empuja demasiado lejos, tiene poder de sobra para sacudirnos, quemarnos y sacudirnos por completo.
