We're never going to scare people into living more sustainably! We have to be able to demonstrate just how dynamic and aspirational such a world could be

Peace, non-violence, human rights and the environment - if only everybody saw these as the seamless whole that they are

The future will be green, or not at all. This truth lies at the heart of humankind's most pressing challenge: to learn to live in harmony with the Earth on a genuinely sustainable basis.

The future will be green, or not at all

If something is sustainable, it means we can go on doing it indefinitely. If it isn't, we can't

Any regeneration project that fails to put environmental and social benefits at its very heart is unlikely to achieve anything more than a very short-lived spasm of spurious prosperity

Keeping people on side is a precondition of making any progress on sustainability issues

Climate change is not an environmental issue, but much more to do with security and economics

We no longer admit any other truth than that which is expedient; for there is no worse error than the truth that may weaken the arm that is fighting.

Fiery trials make golden Christians.

I know you don't want to hear this but someone has to say it! You are out of control! I mean they're just shoes... let it go!

I will miss a good friend who was so talanted. He was such agreat performer/ guitar player. Sleep well Prince.

Standing up for yourself doesn't always involve verbal confrontation. Sometimes it's about not wasting energy on people who are negative.
