Environment

Birds are indicators of the environment. If they are in trouble, we know we'll soon be in trouble.

Doing all we can to combat climate change comes with numerous benefits, from reducing pollution and associated health care costs to strengthening and diversifying the economy by shifting to renewable energy, among other measures.

Eating insects is good for the environment and balanced diets.

Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented.

Environmental protection and economic development are not in conflict. Environmental protection is not a burden but a source for innovation. It can increase competition, create jobs, and lifts the economy.

Fast food may appear to be cheap food and, in the literal sense it often is, but that is because huge social and environmental costs are being excluded from the calculations.

Good environmental policy is good economic policy.

How we grow food has enormous effects on the environment - climate change as well as pollution of air, water, and soil.

I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.

It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for - the whole thing - rather than just one or two stars.

It is vitally important that we can continue to say, with absolute conviction, that organic farming delivers the highest quality, best-tasting food, produced without artificial chemicals or genetic modification, and with respect for animal welfare and the environment, while helping to maintain the landscape and rural communities.

Organic farming has been shown to provide major benefits for wildlife and the wider environment. The best that can be said about genetically engineered crops is that they will now be monitored to see how much damage they cause.

People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!

Pollution from oil and gas development, toxic runoff, and miles and miles of plastic trash foul the waters and threaten marine life.

Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

The environment will continue to deteriorate until pollution practices are abandoned.

The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.

The free market should not include the right to pollute our environment.

The shift to a cleaner energy economy won't happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way. But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.

The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not.
