Some Earth happy quotes and videos to live by:

“What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can be changed by making better, wiser choices.”
– Robert Redford

I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.
– Mother Teresa

Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.
– New England proverb

“75% of colleges and universities have a recycling program.”
–Colorado State University Recycling Program

We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly.
– Clement of Alexandria (150?-220?)

“Solid wastes” are the discarded leftovers of our advanced consumer society. This growing mountain of garbage and trash represents not only an attitude of indifference toward valuable natural resources, but also a serious economic and public health problem.
– Jimmy Carter

There appears to be a deeply embedded uneasiness in our culture about throwing away junk that can be reused. Perhaps, in part, it is guilt about consumption. Perhaps it also feels unnatural. Mother Nature doesn’t throw stuff away. Dead trees, birds, beetles and elephants are pretty quickly recycled by the system.
–William Booth

Much of our waste problem is to be accounted for by the intentional flimsiness and unrepairability of the labor-savers and gadgets that we have become addicted to. — Wendell Berry

When I visited coffee farms in Ethiopia, the farmers could not believe we spend a week’s wages in their country on a cup of coffee in ours, because they see so little of the profits. Oxfam’s fair trade campaign helps right this wrong.
– Colin Firth
