In my lifetime, I want to see humanity start being conscious of our waste, the things we buy, and how we can reuse and recycle things. I want people to live harmoniously with our planet. I hope everybody wakes up and appreciates life.
Shouldn't every day be Earth Day? I mean, what are our options?
We need to move beyond the idea of 'environment' and fall back in love with Mother Earth.
I can never waste water. If I cannot drink it I will use it to water the plants and I will never waste food. If it is inedible it goes on the compost heap.
I can explain to you in detail just how a tree can be made into paper. But I've always wondered - and hoped - that someday, someone would help me discover how paper can be made back into a tree.
I'm mad keen on recycling because I'm worried about the next generation and where all this waste we're producing is going. It has to stop. I wash out my plastic containers and recycle envelopes, everything I possibly can.

You have to focus on what you're passionate about. For me it's the forests and of course, because I'm concerned about the forests, I'm concerned about the way paper is made.
If you are doing the right thing for the earth, she's giving you great company.
You can't be a perfect environmentalist unless you're Ed Begley, Jr., whom I once saw on TV using a bicycle to power his toaster. He's amazing.
Not everything needs to be recycled.
The planting of trees is the least self-centered of all that we can do. It is a purer act of faith than the procreation of children.
I mean, if cans can be recycled, why not spirits?
Everything is bicycle.
To be at the Oscars for 'American Sniper' and then also supporting Red Carpet Green Dress is just twice as cool for me.
I have lots of heroes: anyone and everyone who does whatever they can to leave the natural world better than they found it.
I feel that our planet is in peril and that creating a sustainable planet for my children and my children's children is the most important thing I can do in this lifetime.
It's shocking to think about how little the travel industry cares about sustainability - and it's the basis of their business!
