We are sharing our resources in a very inequitable way. In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace. |
We are very fond of blaming the poor for destroying the environment. But often it is the powerful, including governments, that are responsible. |
We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill, those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind. |
We need to promote development that does not destroy our environment. |
When you have the environment degraded, it is always so that we are going to fight over the few resources that are left. |
Why has there been so much secrecy about AIDS? When you ask where did the virus come from, it raises a lot of flags. That makes me suspicious. |
Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve. |
You must not deal only with the symptoms. You have to get to the root causes by promoting environmental rehabilitation and empowering people to do things for themselves. What is done for the people without involving them cannot be sustained. |
