We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.          Pollution often disappears when we switch to renewable resources.          Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.          If we do not act soo, the Earth’s fragile environment will evolve beyond us. Then we will all die. The Earth will go on without us.          Eventually we’ll realize that if we destroy the ecosystem, we destroy ourselves
