People complain that cities don't have fresh, sustainable food, but it's just not true.

Dan Barber
People complain that cities don't have fresh, sustainable food, but it's just not true.

Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.

Dennis Weaver
Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.

Jay Inslee
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward - looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.

I always try to say, 'If you want to help the environment, try to do just two things. One, use less of your car. Second, separate your garbage.'

Jaime Lerner
I always try to say, 'If you want to help the environment, try to do just two things. One, use less of your car. Second, separate your garbage.'

Nathan Myhrvold
If you had a really good battery, it wouldn't matter that the sun goes down at night and the wind stops blowing sometimes. But at the moment, battery technology is nowhere near good enough to use at utility scale.

Sheherazade Goldsmith
If you're trying to cut down the distance travelled from the farm to your plate, it makes sense to do the same for your pet. If we all shifted our bias towards sustainable pet food, we would be helping more than just our faithful friends.

In corn, I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal, a McDonald's meal, virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn.

Michael Pollan

Rem Koolhaas
What is now called 'green architecture' is an opportunistic caricature of a much deeper consideration of the issues related to sustainability that architecture has been engaged with for many years. It was one of the first professions that was deeply concerned with these issues and that had an intellectual response to them.

Of course, chaos can lead to failure and extinction. But so can order. Far more nations, people, and ideas die of atrophy than die from revolution. Both order and chaos are necessary ingredients for long run success - for sustainability.

Much of the oxygen we breathe comes from plants that died long ago. We can give thanks to these ancestors of our present - pay foliage, but we can't give back to them. We can, however, give forward....

Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone
Much of the oxygen we breathe comes from plants that died long ago. We can give thanks to these ancestors of our present - pay foliage, but we can't give back to them. We can, however, give forward. When we are unable to return the favor, we can pay it forward to someone or something else. Using this approach, we can see ourselves as part of a larger flow of giving and receiving throughout time. Receiving from the past, we can give to the future. When tackling issues such as climate change, the stance of gratitude is a refreshing alternative to guilt or fear as a source of motivation.

A few years ago, at a conference on organic agriculture in California, a corporate organic grower suggested to a small farmer struggling to survive in the competitive world of industrial organic that you should really try to develop a niche to distinguish yourself in the market. Holding his fury in check, the small farmer replied as levelly as he could manage: I believe I developed that niche twenty years ago. It's called 'organic.' And now you, sir, are sitting on it.

Yeah, hey you know carbon sinks are so crucial, scrubbing CO2 out of the air may eventually turn out to be our only option, so maybe we should reverse those two clauses. Make carbon sinks come first and the climate-neutral power plants second in that paragraph. "You think?" "Yes. Definitely. Carbon sinks could be the only way that our kids, and about a thousand years' worth of kids actually, can save themselves from living in Swamp World. From living their whole lives on Venus."
