• A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself.
  Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the
  air and giving fresh strength to our people."

• "God has cared for these trees, saved them from
  drought, disease, avalanches and a thousand
  tempests and floods. But He cannot save them from
  fools."

• What's the use of a house if you haven't got a
  tolerable planet to put it on?"

• "We end, I think, at what might be called the
  standard paradox of the 20th century our tools
  are better than we are, and grow faster than we
  do. They suffice to crack the atom, to command
  the tides. But they do not suffice for the oldest
  task in human history to live on a piece of land
  without spoiling it."

• It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to
  turn again to the earth and in the contemplation
  of her beauties to know the sense of wonder and
  humility.

• No one should be able to enter a wilderness by
  mechanical means.

  sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline
  will have to be evacuated because of the stench
  of dead fish."

18

• "Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only
  after the last river has been poisoned. Only
  after the last fish has been caught. Only then
  will you find that money cannot be eaten."

• They took all the trees And put them in a tree
  museum And they charged all the people A dollar
  and a half just to see'em. Don't it always seem
  to go That you don't know what you've got Till
  it's gone. They paved paradise And put up a
  parking lot

• "UNLESS someone like you cares a whole lot,
  nothing is going to get better. It's not." -
