Climate (Words of Change series)

"The whole world is, to me, very much "alive"—all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life—the things going on—within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood."--Ansel Adams

"We don't have to keep hurting the planet. As we do our slow fashion push, the reality is [that] with fast fashion, if you're not paying for it, someone else is."--Rosario Dawson

"We don’t become mothers to hand over something that is diminishing to our children."--Christina Figueres 

"The way that we talk about climate change is too compartmentalised, too siloed from the other crises we face . . . the crisis of rising white supremacy, the various forms of nationalism, and the fact that so many people are being forced from their homelands, and the war that is waged on our attention spans. These are intersecting and interconnecting crises and so the solutions have to be as well."--Naomi Klein

"A society based on conquest is not sustainable. This is a worldview that destroys biodiversity." --Winona Laduke

"The biggest challenge we face is shifting human consciousness, not saving the planet. The planet doesn’t need saving. We do."--Xiuhtezcatl Martinez
