Tyler Cowen best Environmental Quotes – “The way to make the world a better place, through your eating, is simply to eat a bit less meat. Local is sometimes good, sometimes bad. But even when it’s good, its environmental impact is relatively small compared to other possible improvements.”
Zac Goldsmith best Environmental Quotes – “‘Green’ is likely to be a big issue in the 2008 U.S. presidential election – largely in response to George Bush’s suicidal refusal to engage with environmental issues.”
Matthew Yglesias best Environmental Quotes – “The environmental movement’s focus on the Keystone XL pipeline issue really used to baffle me.”
Zac Goldsmith best Environmental Quotes – “Politics colours everything, and anyone who wants change is necessarily political. As an environmental campaigner more or less since I left school in the early ’90s, I have always been involved in lobbying, campaigning and pushing for changes.”
Zac Goldsmith best Environmental Quotes – “By uploading 40 years of ‘Ecologist’ editions online, we will be creating the world’s most extensive ecological archive. ‘The Ecologist’ will continue to set the environmental and political agenda here and abroad.”
Zac Goldsmith best Environmental Quotes – “Politicians usually get the blame for dragging their feet on environmental issues. And fair enough. Most of them do just that. But the blame isn’t theirs alone. For politicians afraid of losing votes, a bristling media waiting to transform good green ideas into monsters is a colossal disincentive.”
Zac Goldsmith best Environmental Quotes – “We always hear from newspapers that while people understand the environmental challenge, they are unwilling to stomach the solutions. The trouble is, we only ever hear about the solutions from the media, and for whatever reason, they are almost always caricatured beyond recognition. If there’s no appetite for green, it’s not surprising.”
Annie Dillard best Environmental Quotes – “There is a muscular energy in sunlight corresponding to the spiritual energy of wind.”
Erich Fromm best Environmental Quotes – “Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
David Attenborough best Environmental Quotes – “It’s coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It’s not just climate change; it’s sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.”
Elon Musk best Environmental Quotes – “The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we’re not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.”
Al Gore best Environmental Quotes – “Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it’s a challenge to the moral imagination.”
