The wealth of any ecosystem is its perennials. The primal herbivore-predator-disturbance-rest dance is literally the breath and pulse of the earth. Grasses recycle oxygen far more efficiently than trees. The turnover is faster. Grass reaches out and turns solar energy into carbon. Tillage hyper-aerates the soil, burning out carbon. But because a plant creates bilateral symmetry at the soil horizon, it sloughs off root mass when the top gets chopped off. - Joel Salatin
We are whirling through endless space, with an inconceivable speed, all around everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere there is energy. - Nikola Tesla
The planting of the seeds, in the earth, is basically and absolutely the same process that you use in the mental world. - Earl Shoaff
The harness of waterfalls is the most economical method known for drawing energy from the sun. - Nikola Tesla
There are a helluva lot more of us who care about our environment in the world than we realize. We're the majority, and we can do something about that. - Woody Harrelson
Isn't it sad that you can tell people that the ozone layer is being depleted, the forests are being cut down, the deserts are advancing steadily, that the greenhouse effect will raise the sea level 200 feet, that overpopulation is choking us, that pollution is killing us, that nuclear war may destroy us - and they yawn and settle back for a comfortable nap. But tell them that the Martians are landing, and they scream and run. - Isaac Asimov
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul. - Victor Hugo
The quickest way to destroy ocean science is to take human explorers out of the water. - James Cameron
We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. - Albert Einstein
I think the world's still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I'm not feeling great about things ecologically. - Woody Harrelson
The snake kills by squeezing very slowly. This is how the civilized world slowly, slowly pushes into the forest and takes away the world that used to be. - James Cameron
The cycle of life is death, decomposition and regeneration, and a person who wants to stop killing animals is actually anti-life because it's only in death that life can be regenerated. - Joel Salatin
I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic. - George Carlin
I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres. - Felix Dennis
