Henry David Thoreau
“What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?”
Henry David Thoreau, Familiar letters

Thomas L. Friedman
“In my world, you don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and be against common-sense gun control — like banning public access to the kind of semiautomatic assault rifle, designed for warfare, that was used recently in a Colorado theater. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and want to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures clean air and clean water, prevents childhood asthma, preserves biodiversity and combats climate change that could disrupt every life on the planet. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and oppose programs like Head Start that provide basic education, health and nutrition for the most disadvantaged children...The term “pro-life” should be a shorthand for respect for the sanctity of life. But I will not let that label apply to people for whom sanctity for life begins at conception and ends at birth. What about the rest of life? Respect for the sanctity of life, if you believe that it begins at conception, cannot end at birth.”
Thomas L. Friedman

Naomi Klein
“Because, underneath all of this is the real truth we have been avoiding: climate change isn’t an “issue” to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message—spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions—telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us that we need to evolve.”
Naomi Klein

Ramez Naam
“The world has a very serious problem, my friend' Shiva went on. 'Poor children still die by their millions. Westerners and the global rich -- like me -- live in post-scarcity society, while a billion people struggle to get enough to eat. And we're pushing the planet towards a tipping point, where the corals die and the forests burn and life becomes much, much harder. We have the resources to solve those problems, even now, but politics and economics and nationalism all get in the way. If we could access all those minds, though...”
Ramez Naam, Crux

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“Quand on a terminé sa toilette du matin, il faut faire soigneusement la toilette de la planète.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Environmental cleanliness begins with individual desire to be clean.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

“Cleanliness begins with the love for godliness”
Lailah Gifty Akita

“To harm nature is to harm yourself. To care for it is to care not just for yourself, but for the entire universe.”
Michael Bassey Johnson, These Words Pour Like Rain

“Environmental stewardship doesn't demand perfection; it craves our dedication to making a difference, one mindful choice at a time.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

“The conservation of nature isn't a sprint but a timeless relay; each generation passing the baton of responsibility. It's our turn—let's do it devotedly and diligently.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

Aloo Denish Obiero

Jonathan Harr
“To compel the other side to settle... and whoever comes to their senses first loses.”
Jonathan Harr, A Civil Action

“The footprint of progress must never trample upon the footprint of nature. And so human advancement must never overshadow or destroy nature upon which all life depends.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

“Our lasting legacy lies not in the towering stone structures, but in the forests we nurture, the oceans we safeguard, and the skies we keep pure.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

“Every drop of water, every breath of air, every blade of grass whispers the same truth: we are but custodians of this planet, entrusted with its care for generations yet to come.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

“In the hands of humanity lies the sacred duty to nurture, not deplete; to protect, not plunder. Our legacy is not measured in conquest but in conservation.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

“From the mysterious depths of the ocean to the towering peaks of mountains, let us be stewards of all life forms, protecting the precious balance of ecosystems with unwavering resolve.”
Aloo Denish Obiero

CUSTOMER: Don’t you have a plastic bag? I’m sick of all this recycling nonsense. It’s not doing any of us any good.”

“**Career Biography of Jason Momoa**

*Edition English & Project Overview*

**Book Title:** *Strong as Water: The Jason Momoa Story – From the Coast to Hollywood Star*
**Project Intent:** This captivating biography not only highlights the life and career of Jason Momoa but also serves as the foundation for a comprehensive book project consisting of seven volumes. While the first volume focuses on the beginnings of his career, his successes as an actor, and his passion for environmental protection and music, the other six books are already in planning and will cover various aspects of his life and work.
In the first volume, readers follow the charismatic actor on his journey from an aspiring artist in Hawaii to his early roles in successful series and his breakthrough as Aquaman. Special attention is given to his founding of the band "Öfftatata," which underscores his artistic versatility. Readers will learn about the challenges and successes Momoa has experienced in his musical career and how these have shaped his perspective as an artist.

A central theme of the book is the issue of cybercrime, which has significantly impacted Jason Momoa's career. As one of the stars who has been frequently sabotaged and misused, he shares his experiences that have motivated him to actively engage against these threats. In this context, I, Gabriela from the Cyberofcriminal group, would like to invite Jason Momoa to join me in this project. Together, we can emphasize the importance of raising awareness about cybercrime and demonstrate how crucial it is to fight against such attacks.

“Kakor je nemogoče izmeriti srečo, lahko pa izmeriš srčni utrip, tako je nemogoče jasno izmeriti strošek sosedove gnojnice v tvojem potoku, lahko pa izmeriš število ljudi, ki iz tvoje doline vsak mesec romajo na onkološki oddelek v Ljubljani.”
Nataša Kramberger, Po vsej sili živ

“Nature is the greatest laboratory, where science discovers its secrets and technology shapes its future.”
Devi Priyanka, Chakra Babu

“As the woods burn and charcoal forms, the scent of the Earth’s soul rises—an end, a transformation, or perhaps the voice of Earth crying out for help.”
RemaThankappan

Tom Bowser
“According to analysis by Scottish Environment LINK, Scottish Natural Heritage's overall budget allocation fell from £80.5 million in 2010-11 to £46.5 million in 2019-20, a 42 per cent reduction in real terms. In the same period the budgets of the government's other environment advosory agencies were also slashed, SEPA's by 34.4 per cent and RESAS's (Rural & Environmental Science & Analytical Services) by 41 per cent. In the severity of these cuts, we saw the divide between rhetoric and reality, between the government's stated commitment to the environment and their true financial investment.”
Tom Bowser, Waters of Life: Fighting for Scotland’s Beavers

Abhijit Naskar
“Earth Engineer (Sonnet 2336)

Earth has abundant resources to suffice our need,
but no planet has enough to suffice our greed.
Earth is rich, earth is bountiful, like a doting
mother, she provides for all her kids.

There is no economic depression,
only addiction of power and money.
There is no population explosion,
only outbreak of egocentricity.

What's the point of your architecture or engineering
degree, if you can't build a human habitat without
destroying entire ecosystems of other living things!
And you call yourself an engineer, an architect -
a sparrow has more sense than a stupid earthling.

Reach for the stars all you want,
but anchor your soul in the soil.
Human blood deficient of salt from earth,
leads to a history of mental turmoil.”
Abhijit Naskar, Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat
