"Many of those solutions are already creating positive change and more are being developed every day."

"The urgent need to quickly shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy and to enact policies to reduce energy consumption shouldn’t even be a subject for political debate — and as recently as the late 1980s to early 1990s, it wasn’t politicized."

We elect politicians who roll back effective climate policies and ignore the crisis.

"We’ve pushed our life-support systems beyond the brink and, rather than doing everything to keep things from getting worse, we elect politicians who roll back effective climate policies and ignore the crisis."

Reporting on military emissions is voluntary. Thus, the public has a poor understanding of the relationship between war and global heating.

"Not only do wars prevent us from resolving serious, survival-threatening emergencies such as climate change and biodiversity loss — by sucking up money and resources and prioritizing destruction over problem-solving — they also contribute greatly to those problems."

"Nature belongs in cities. For this reason, we need to redesign cities so they include biodiversity and intact ecosystems."

"Fracking for more climate-altering gas is not a solution, for the climate or economy. We have cheaper, cleaner and healthier ways to produce energy."
