...It is often difficult to judge how our actions and their impact on the environment likely to affect others...

...What is clear is that we are the only species with the power to destroy the earth...

...Birds and insects have no such power , nor does any other mammal...

...And yet if we have the capicity to destroy the earth

we also have the capicity to protect it...

...I believe we have an urgent responsibility to do so...

- Dalai Lama -
