Sooner or later, we will have to recognize that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

~Evo Morales

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

~Native American Proverb

The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future. 

~Marya Mannes
