quote
We need to consider how ur actions, in affecting the environment, are likely 2 affect others. This is often difficult to judge but it is clear that we R the only species w power 2 destroy the earth. Birds&insects have no such power, nor does any other mammal. Yet if we’ve capacity 2 destroy the earth, we also have capacity to protect it. I believe we have an urgent responsibility to do so.
— Dalai Lama
