  • Bill McKibben Quote - I think the best way is to keep stressing, that, as we build out a new energy system, one of the best things about it, if we do it right, will be that it will be more local, more democratic, more distributed, and, in the long run, much more economically sensible.

If we can think of a plausible, or even implausible, reason to discount environmental warnings, we will.

Socializing them is the work of politics. It’s about time we took it up again.

When you go to Europe, they’re much more ready. They use half the amount of energy per capita that we use. They can imagine using less than that. They see the benefits. They’re ready to go.

At 350.org we just trained 500 young people from around the world in Istanbul for a few weeks. We had 5000 applications from young people who wanted to be part of the training. There’s real hunger out there.

One is the habits of the West in terms of consumption. The other is the incredible iniquity between poor countries and rich countries on this planet.
