Ram Nath Kovind Quotes

Planet Earth is far more resilient than humans and will certainly outlive us.

The planet will adapt to anything. Maybe we should start to use the heart and the brain that we've been given to organize ourselves. Because if we keep screwing up things, we may be just passing by in the history of the planet.

The further human society drifts away from nature, the less we understand interdependence.

We see an entire planet which has many limitations.

Genetic design is something we can use to fight the lack of sustainability we humans are forcing on the earth's environment.

The earth is a fickle place for all life, not least the human project of civilization.

The planet will survive. Whether we get to be here and enjoy it, or enjoy life as we've known it, is what's questionable.

The planet does nothing but support us, and we are constantly committing crimes against nature.

We shouldn't be saying 'Save the planet'; we should be saying: 'Save viable conditions in which people can live.' That's what we're dealing with here.

Because the living environment is what really sustains us.

Humanity is consuming the resources of the earth and life in an excessive and disordered way, forgetting the earth's own needs

How much longer, for instance, can we continue to crowd more and more people into this world? …. How long can we permit the uncontrolled use of the earth's resources when there is no possibility of replacing them? Indeed, how long will it be before we have completely used up everything our lives depend on? These issues are the politics of the future. Neither Republicans nor Democrats have begun to spell out in substantive fashion the means by which we can control population growth, environmental problems, and the conservation of our natural resources.

Our conservation laws are based on static ideas about nature—not landscapes that are rapidly changing because of something humans did.

Most times, Mother Earth's resources are used up without the realisation that these thoughtless actions might just be the root cause for the hardships future generations may face. It is everyone's responsibility to hand over a green, clean, and healthy environment to them.

I never lose an opportunity to speak about my obsession: humankind and the environment.

The strong evidence is that we're running out of space. We're collectively affecting the world's climate. This is due to the still-growing human population and our increase in consumption.

My main issue is sustainability of the Earth, and protection of those animals and people who dwell here.

We have the world to live in on the condition that we will take good care of it. And to take good care of it, we have to know it. And to know it and to be willing to take care of it, we have to love it.

So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us. Because the planet doesn't need to be saved. It doesn't care if all the squirrels, elephants, and trees die and there's just a couple of amoebas floating around at the poles.

If people think nature is their friend, then they sure don't need an enemy.

I think we are in the midst of this period where we are committing this suicide on the planet and everybody is just using up all of our natural resources like a bunch of insane people. That's what I worry about more than I worry about jazz.

In a fragile environment, we need to be aware of ourselves as members of a uniquely powerful species living among other species who are quite as interesting as we are but vulnerable to us because we are cleverer in more destructive ways.

Because we're not in harmony with the environment, we're destroying the environment that supports us.

The images of Earth's delicate biosphere, contrasting with the sterile moonscape where the astronauts left their footsteps, have become iconic for environmentalists: these may indeed be the Apollo programme's most enduring legacy.

That's the thing about Mother Nature, she really doesn't care what economic bracket you're in.
