• We have so many alternatives, like kenaf. It produces more crop, it's hardier, and creates incredible paper products. Why are we deforesting for pulp and paper when we have a logical and efficient solution in plants like kenaf or bamboo? It doesn't make sense to me at all. I'm inviting anyone else who thinks the same to reach out and get involved with our think tanks around creating tree free alternatives ASAP.

• Qué diferencia han supuesto esas 120 ppm adicionales para las plantas y para los animales y seres humanos que dependen de ellas. Cuanto más dióxido de carbono hay en la atmósfera, más lo absorben las plantas de todo tipo - - y más rápido y mejor crecen, incluso en condiciones adversas como escasez de agua, temperaturas del aire extremadamente altas o infestaciones de insectos, malas hierbas y otras plagas. A medida que los árboles, las hierbas, las algas y los cultivos crecen más rápidamente y se vuelven más sanos y robustos, los animales y los seres humanos disfrutan de una mejor nutrición en un planeta cada vez más verde.

• In the Ramtops village where they dance the real Morris dance, for example, they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away - until the clock he wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.

  Terry Pratchett

• We're still promoting stupid wasteful behavior in agribusiness - everything from ethanol production for cars to genetically modified crops. In commerce just about everything we do politically is in the service of WalMart and the systems tied to it. In transportation, we could, for instance, have compelled General Motors to produce railroad rolling stock as a condition of their bail-out, but we didn't do that. Instead, we're chasing the phantom of electric cars - and, believe me, we are going to be mortally disappointed how that works out.

• Como médico, examino el planeta moribundo como a un paciente moribundo. La Tierra tiene un sistema natural de mecanismos homeostáticos interactivos similares a los del cuerpo humano. Si un sistema enferma, como la capa de ozono, los demás sistemas desarrollan anomalías en su funcionamiento: las cosechas morirán, el plancton se dañará y los ojos de todas las criaturas del planeta enfermarán y tendrán problemas de visión.

• I think laying out a beautiful picture in a beautiful way is a bloody bore. I think you've got to blow it right across the page and down the side, crop it, cut it in half, combine it with something else... do something with it. You've got to make something out of it.

• Imagine your mind as a garden and thoughts as the seeds you plant. Habitual negative, unhealthy, self-critical thoughts produce the weeds and thistles of depression, discontent, and anxiety in the garden of your mind. Luckily, the opposite is also true. Consistently planting positive, healthy, constructive thoughts will yield a crop of beautiful feelings, such as gratitude, love, and joy.

• Women are like that they don't acquire knowledge of people we are for that they are just born with a practical fertility of suspicion that makes a crop every so often and usually right they have an affinity for evil for supplying whatever the evil lacks in itself for drawing it about them instinctively as you do bed-clothing in slumber fertilizing the mind for it until the evil has served its purpose whether it ever existed or no.
