Nature was my kindergarten.

There isn't a person on Earth who couldn't use a connection with nature.

A large body of literature suggests that wellbeing is intimately linked to attachment - not only to other people, but also to the natural world.

It is funny how we talk about nature as this separate entity when we are nature, and nature is us.

It is the fate of modern life that we repeatedly lose touch with nature, the environment, the planet. But we try to regain it again and again. It's like a circle. In children's hearts and souls when they're born into the world, nature already exists deep inside them. So what I want to do in my work is tap into their souls

I think an erotics of place may be one of the reasons why environmentalists are seen as subversive. There is a backlash now:... [ellipsis in source] take all the regulations away; weaken existing legislation; the endangered species act is too severe, too restrictive; let there be carte blanche for real-estate developers. Because if we really have to confront wildness, solitude, and serenity, both the fierceness and compassionate nature of the land, then we ultimately have to confront it in ourselves, and it's easier to be numb, to be distracted, to be disengaged.

I think having pets helps sensitize people to the natural world.

I was terribly sure trees and flowers were the same as birds or people. That they thought things and talked among themselves. And we could hear them if we really tried. It was just a matter of emptying your head of all other sounds. Being very quiet and listening very hard. Sometimes I still believe that. But one can never get quiet enough.

I think it is important that we all try and be green where it is possible; an awareness of the world around us can never be a bad thing.

And this sensitivity will create new friendships for you - friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. Life becomes richer as love grows.

We are not talking about esthetics. We are talking about life: survival of Man. We must train young people to get another vision of Nature.
