“I can remember as a kid drinking from the hose...but the ash content in the rivers from fires all across the country has changed all that. How long are we going to continue to stick our heads up our own ashes?!!!”

“I am passionate about continuing to educate myself about how I can change my personal world ( recycling, composting, bringing my own materials, reuse, reduce, recycle etc) and the sets I am on, and then on a global level to educate others about our environment.”

“I miss taking out my thick sweaters and wool blazers in September. I miss seeing intrepid New Yorkers on cross country skis in SoHo in January. I leave New York every summer to avoid the dripping humidity. But what if there’s no escape and much of the earth feels like a Mississippi summer? Think we’ll get through by the skin of our teeth? We are the only deus ex machine in sight.”

“Mother Earth is angry. We have destroyed her beautiful balance. We have deadly wildfires year round, catastrophic hurricanes that have decimated communities and habitats. Countless species are lost forever with thousands more threatened every day. And we still don’t have clean water in the wealthiest country in the world. We must STOP our selfish abuse of our home. With education, compassion, and unity, we can (and must) make sweeping, systematic change, so there is a future”.

“We are guests of Mother Nature. And, as guests, we should act appropriately and take care of her, because she takes care of us. And if we don’t… she will take care of us. So, let’s do the right thing.”

“Successful restraint through social distancing in the corona crisis should convince us what we are capable of doing for the planet. Our actions are the planet’s only vaccine. Each nation must be a citizen of the world regarding the corona crisis and the climate crisis. Our grandchildren will thank us”.

“Climate change is such a grave and comprehensive threat that it can seem overwhelming; difficult to know how to begin confronting and correcting it. As with so many challenges, education and community are essential resources. If we face the problem together, learn about how it works and how to mitigate its danger, we are emboldened to make real, lasting, and positive reforms”.

“The brilliant blue skies we have been waking up to in Los Angeles during this horrible pandemic have shown us that when given the time and space, our planet can come back to life. We need to make sure we don’t forget the important lessons we have learned during this time, especially when it comes to the environment! Change is possible! We’ve seen it with our own eyes!”

“Ten years ago I got a dog and found myself in the woods for long walks everyday. A funny thing happened: life became less cluttered & generally much simpler. I no longer felt the need to seek out therapy to work through things, the woods did it for me. All one needs to do is spend mere minutes in the forest to feel the powerful and immediate impact of Mother Nature on our body, mind and soul. She takes care of us providing the easiest and most gentle therapy there is. It's our responsibility to do all we can to return that care.”

“I think Alanis Obomsawin said it best “ When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money”.

“It’s on each of us to learn that reproductive justice, racial justice, and environmental justice are all inextricably linked. By understanding their interconnectedness, we become more effective advocates for each other, and the Earth.”

The web of life is rapidly being destroyed due to climate change. For our own survival, and that of countless other plant and animal species, we must act now!

For me, Climate Change is a human rights issue. It forces us as a society to examine closely the depth of the injustices perpetuated by our historical systems of power, dominance and control. In demanding Climate Justice we must be prepared to disrupt and dismantle the systems that continue to violate the most vulnerable, and continue to marginalize indigenous rights and land claims.

I want to have a full life on this planet. I also want to, in ten years or in the near future, feel it is safe to bring a child into this world without it feeling like I am setting them up to be doomed by global warming. The answer to whether or not I can do this lies in how we deal with the climate crisis right now and moving forward. I want to be a part of this movement to help make life on earth possible for myself and for future generations.

“The earth witnessed a brief, inspiring shift in harmful emissions, due to Covid-19 - a sign of what can be! Proof that it is going to take a very disciplined, very caring, and very long term global effort to reverse the harm. Covid related affects will be minuscule in the long run by themselves, but they CAN be a start! Let’s make it so.”

“If environmentalists are wrong on climate change the result is… we have a cleaner planet. If those who deny climate change are wrong? We have no planet. At least not one that humans can survive on.”

“The earth is our home, and it is our only home. We have no other options, and we should look upon our forests as we do our own warm beds and cozy corners. We have to protect her and care for her, in the same way that the earth does for us. If we remember that the wild meadows, the mountain peaks, and the gentle waves are just as much a part of us as our own bodies are, we can make a significant shift toward more sustainable thinking.”

“I went to Greenland in 2013 and on an excursion to EQI, we watched the extraordinary glacier calve every thirty minutes. It was terrifying. Next to me, on the boat, there was a guy saying that there was no such thing as global warming, and yet it was happening in front of his eyes. That was more terrifying, We must protect our planet and be mindful every single day about how we can help.”
