I am on the board of corporations who contribute both to environmental problems and their solutions. And I am on the NGO side: the Earth Council and other organizations.

We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country.

Earth Day 1970 was irrefutable evidence that the American people understood the environmental threat and wanted action to resolve it.

After all sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words keeping the asset whole rather than undermining your natural capital.

They claim this mother of ours the Earth for their own use and fence their neighbors away from her and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.

Thank God men cannot fly and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

I also found that for myself since I've had no religious education it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.

I think through education belief in God and good engineering our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence it is India.

Looking back 25 years later what I may say is that the facts have been far better than the dreams. In the long course of cell life on this earth it remained for our age for our generation to receive the full ownership of our inheritance.
