"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

—Mahatma Gandi



"In Wilderness is the preservation of the world."

—Henry David Thoreau, "Walking"



"Mine is a message of hope. If everybody could think a little bit about the small choices that they make every day: What do you eat, does it result in animal cruelty? What do you wear, how was it made, does it damage the environment?

When people start thinking like that, they do change. They do make changes. And when more and more people think like that, we get critical mass."

—Jane Goodall
