Sustainable Development quotes


I can´t be the only one who enjoys to read quotes, here some that I liked about sustainable development:
  • Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us - Henrik Tikkanen
  • The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it - Robert Swan (first person to walk to both Poles)
  • The future will be green, or not at all - Jonathon Porritt
  • If something is sustainable, it means we can go on doing it indefinitely. If it isn't, we can't - Jonathon Porritt
  • History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives - Abba Eban
  • The future isn't what it used to be - Arthur C Clarke
  • You never reach the promised land. You can march towards it - James Callaghan
  • Treat the Earth as though we intend to stay here - Sir Crispin Tickell, 1998
  • Unless we change direction, we are likely to end up where we are going - Chinese proverb
  • You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete - Buckminster Fuller, philospher, futurist and global thinker (1895 - 1983)
