At every turn, when humanity is asked the question, 'Do you want temporary economic gain or long-term environmental loss, which one do you prefer,' we invariably choose the money.Ethan Hawke
We are borrowing money from future generations. We are borrowing the carbon impact, the resource impact from future generations to get stuff cheap now. We have swept the dirt and dust from our society under the carpet - but this carpet is on other side of the planet.Kevin McCloud
The more we heat up the planet, the more it costs all of us, not just in money, but in colossal famines, displacements, deaths, and species extinctions, as well as in the loss of some of the things that make this planet a blue-green jewel, including its specialized habitats from the melting Arctic to bleaching coral reefs.Rebecca Solnit
If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.Lyndon B. Johnson
Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.W. Clement Stone
Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.Steve Jobs
You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?W. Clement Stone
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.Mark Caine
