Notable quotes

“Plastic pollution free world is not a choice but a commitment to life - a commitment to the next generation.”
— Amit Ray, Beautify your Breath - Beautify your Life (2015), pp 55.
“By examining conditions in China and experimenting in a lab, the scientists suggest that a combination of weather patterns and chemistry could have caused London fog to turn into a haze of concentrated sulfuric acid.”

“Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation.”
— Pope Francis, "Pope Francis' speech at the White House" (23 September 2015)
“Pollution is nothing but resources we're not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value. But if we got onto a planning planning basis, the government could trap pollutants in the stacks and spillages and get back more money than this would cost out of the stockpiled chemistries they'd be collecting.”
— Buckminster Fuller as quoted in "The View from the Year 2000" by Barry Farrell in LIFE magazine, (26 February 1971).
