Quote of the Season

I believe that environmentalists are aching to find a way to express the depth of their commitment, and the profound threat that they sense a way to take into account everything that we are. We are a lot more than political beings. We should not be shy to talk about the belief that our work goes beyond the material to a place of great strength and sustenance.
