We have a responsibility to look after our planet. It is our only home.

As a Green, my goal is to put a smile on the face of the coming generations.

No one can predict whether the earth will be cooler or hotter next year, let alone do anything to change it. If you're afraid of global warming, turn off the lights when you leave the room - but don't participate in the corruption of science, don't scare our kids with unproven cataclysmic theories, and don't try to ban economic energy sources that people living on this planet depend upon today. And don't try to stop progress; it's the only hope the earth has of seeing clean industry, short of exterminating mankind.

The truth is that we're at a critical juncture in the history of our species and if we don't act soon, we could inhabit a world we don't recognize anymore. But the most important truth is that we are capable of stopping climate change before the worst of its consequences are locked in. The solutions exist - all we need is the will to do something about it.

I'm going to be focused on doing everything I possibly can to help solve the climate crisis.

You're going to have to change the priorities of your life, if you love this planet.

We ought to approach this challenge [of global warming] with a sense of profound joy and gratitude: that we are the generation about which, a thousand years from now, philharmonic orchestras and poets and singers will celebrate by saying, they were the ones that found it within themselves to solve this crisis and lay the basis for a bright and optimistic human future.

Whether or not I tour forever, I'm not sure. I would love to spend more time living in harmony with nature rather than flying all over the world and contributing to global warming, you know what I mean?

Sustainability is no longer about doing less harm. It's about doing more good.

People think that saving the planet or finding their place in that effort is a really overwhelming thought.

What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

One of my eco-friendly hotties asked how I felt about climate change telling me that no one was listening to her, so I asked her, 'What can we do to help?!'

There is no high-carbon future

I suppose that's a question most often asked of me by people who would like to make a positive contribution towards a sustainable future and a healthy environment. There are so many things that need to be done that sometimes it seems overwhelming. I try to remind everyone that no one person has to do it all but if each one of us follows our heart and our own inclinations we will find the small things that we can do, and together we will come up with enough to create a sustainable future and a healthy environment.

If we don't embrace a low carbon economy this decade, it won't just harm the planet, but also the U.S. economy.

We don't need new discoveries or new inventions to reverse this trend. We have the tools at our disposal to reverse it.

You are called to care for Creation not only as responsible citizens, but also as followers of Christ!

It drives me crazy to see so much of this planet's life so casually endangered. The first steps are so easy (drive smaller cars, for instance) that it's very hard to understand why we haven't taken them. But I know that this is the issue our generation will be judged by.

I still think we are smart enough to not destroy planet Earth, our only home.

I feel passionate about solving the climate crisis.
