immense value, gifts that, once gone, will be beyond the imagination and skill of humanity to recreate.”
– Eban Goodstein

“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the risk of a climatic catastrophe is high enough for the world to spend a small proportion of its income

ending the Cold War. Our generation’s challenge will be addressing global climate change while sustaining a growing global economy”
– Eileen Clausen

“The atmosphere almost looks like an eggshell on an egg, it’s so thin. We know that we don’t have much air – we need to protect what we have.”
