"When asked if I am pessimistic or
optimistic about the future, my answer is
always the same: If you look at the
science about what is happening on
earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t
understand the data. But if you meet the
people who are working to restore this
earth and the lives of the poor, and you
aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse."
~ Paul Hawken
