I’ve always been interested in the industrialization of our food; it’s been an issue for me from an environmental and animal rights and human health perspective.
Let’s recreate the equivalent of the Met Ball in Europe and, rather than for the museum, give the money to environmental causes.
As the former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and former governor of New Jersey, I have witnessed the impact of climate change firsthand.
I began to lead two lives… one being a kid and the other starting to speak internationally about the environment… and advocating for social and environmental justice.
Climate change is an economic, public health, and environmental issue that we have a moral responsibility to address.
When my father finished his Ph.D., my mother went back for another bachelor’s degree, this time in environmental science.
The manufacture and running of all the world’s computers, the toxicity of the hardware mountains that we currently dump on other countries; all this can be totted up on the environmental account of web-users and its authors.
Human civilization as we know it is like the Titanic headed for the iceberg, whether the iceberg be nuclear, environmental or terrorism-related.
My main argument is that environmental destruction comes when people externalise their costs and pass them on to future generations. That is obviously something that large enterprises do and they become large by doing it.
As an issue, climate change was unlucky: when nonspecialists first became aware of it in the 1990s, environmental attitudes had already become tribal political markers.
If people are prepared to eat locally and seasonally, then they probably do pretty well in terms of environmental impact.
To reduce the risk of a global environmental catastrophe, and to avoid reversing the course of human progress, the world must urgently bend the curve of global emissions away from fossil fuels.
The Impact Channel and OurPlanet were created to increase awareness of environmental and social causes within the MySpace community.
I think we have grave problems. I am very much concerned about environmental questions, even though in Finnish society, we are not facing the most urgent problems.
A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth, or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.
I agree on the need for environmental sustainability. It is no good raising gross national income while at the same time destroying natural assets.
I urge President Trump to maintain American participation in the Paris Agreement – for the sake of our international leadership, economic competitiveness, and children’s environmental future.
With the mining sites, I found a subject matter that carried forth my fascination with the undoing of the landscape, in terms of both its formal beauty and its environmental politics.
Music feels so environmental to me, especially the process of working with synths or mixing. I started thinking about music as a psychological landscape as well. It’s a landscape of the mind.
The environmental benefits of hydrogen are also outstanding. When used as an energy source, hydrogen produces no emissions besides water. Zero polluting emissions, an amazing advance over the current sources of energy that we use.
The motivation should come from regulatory enforcement, but enforcement is weak, and environmental litigation is near to impossible. So there’s an urgent need for extensive public participation to generate another kind of motivation.
The responses that environmentalists evoke – fear, anxiety, numbness, despair – are not helpful, even if they are understandable. It should be fascinating, even enthralling, to be in the milieu of environmental change.
It would be a mistake to believe that environmental protection and economic growth are mutually exclusive.
I would say that California has been focused on climate change to the detriment of the other environmental programs.
Unless action is taken soon – unless we can display the same vision of that earlier period – we will lose the treasure of California’s open space and environmental beauty.
