Until he extends his circle of passion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.- Albert Schweitzer
"You hear headlines from time to time about the Amazon [rainforest] disappearing at a greater or lesser rate.... The real story is that over time the rate has stayed just the same. Year after year, decade after decade, we have failed to stopâor really even decreaseâdeforestation." Patrick Symmes, Outside Magazine, interviewed on Living on Earth
"In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum
"Pollution should never be the price of prosperity." Al Gore, in a 2000 presidential-campaign speech

It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for man." - Thomas E. Lovejoy
"When all the dangerous cliffs are fenced off, all the trees that might fall on people are cut down, all of the insects that bite have been poisoned and all of the grizzlies are dead because they are occasionally dangerous, the wilderness will not be made safe. Rather, the safety will have destroyed the wilderness." - R. Yorke Edwards
"The wilderness is not a renewable resource. If it is possible for humans and wildlife to coexist, we must endeavor to understand as much as possible about their needs to minimize negative impacts." - Unknown
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." - Edmond Burke
"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure." John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi
"The superior man seeks what is right; the inferior one, what is profitable." Confucius
"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard." Gaylord Nelson former governor of Wisconsin, co-founder of Earth Day
"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them."
â Theodore Roosevelt

Is a skin care routine necessary?
Q. Im 14 and i dont wear makeup and i find my oil balances are really good, so i was wondering if it was necessary to actually wash, tone, moisturize, etc. everday day twice a day. I normally just gently scrub my face with dr sponge aloe sponge at night and wear sunscreen in the day! Is that okay? What do you think. In my opinion, i dont think products actually do what they claim to do!
