“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.”
“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
“To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.”
“I do have reasons for hope: our clever brains, the resilience of nature, the indomitable human spirit, and above all, the commitment of young people when they’re empowered to take action.”
“Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.”
“Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.”
“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”
“Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don’t change.”
“There is a powerful force unleashed when young people resolve to make a change.”
“The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.”
“We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place ― or not to bother.”
“Someday we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?”
