Inspirational Quotes

Go out and experience animals, go to the river and look at the
stream. You're only going to protect what you fall in love with. You're not
going to have people protect nature because they've read about data on nature
or resource allocation or even that we have 20 percent less fish or 50 percent
less fish. They will go out to the river and say, "I love this river"
and they'll defend that river. So we don't defend data, we defend actual
experience.

-Andrew Kimbrell

still plant my apple tree."

Winter blocks the road,
Flowers are taken prisoner underground,
But then green justice tenders a spear”
