Everything needs to change – and it has to start today.” – Greta Thunberg “The First Law of Ecology: Everything is connected to everything else. The Second Law of Ecology: Everything must go somewhere. The Third Law of Ecology: Nature knows best. The Fourth Law of Ecology: There is no such thing as a free lunch.” – Barry Commoner “Our fulfillment is not in our isolated human grandeur, but in our intimacy with the larger earth community, for this is also the larger dimension of our being. “ – Thomas Berry “The Holy Land is everywhere.” – Black Elk “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” – William Shakespeare “It’s all about transferring a positive healthy energy to the environment. The world around you will start healing itself.” – Bushra Zainab “The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world. ” – Michael Pollan “No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.” – Thomas Jefferson “Eat responsibly; participate in food production to the extent that you can; prepare your own food; learn the origins of the food you buy, and buy the food that is produced closest to your home; whenever possible, deal directly with a local farmer, gardener, or orchardist.” – Wendell Berry “The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.” – e.e. cummings |
