Climate change is happening humans are causing it and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.

I think we have grave problems. I am very much concerned about environmental questions even though in Finnish society we are not facing the most urgent problems.

A fascinating challenge facing today's environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

We talk about you know diet and that we shouldn't give our kids big things and obesity and fast food. Well you know there are people who don't have that problem because they're not getting any food! We have so many deep problems and issues facing humanity.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

It's a matter of life and death for this country. The Kenyan forests are facing extinction and it is a man-made problem.

When my mom ran for the Senate my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice 'Why should women have any less say than men about the great decisions facing our nation?'

Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.

We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.
