A just and sustainable future is one that reconciles the prospects of peace, freedom, health, and improved living conditions for both present and future generations with the need to preserve the integrity of biologically diverse and interdependent ecosystems on which all life depends."

"Only in the last quarter of my life have we come to know what it means to be custodians of the future of the earth--to know that unless we care, unless we check the rapacious exploitation of our earth and protect it, we are endangering the future of our children and our children's children. We did not know this before, except in little pieces, people knew that they had to take care of their own...but it was until we saw the picture of the Earth from the moon, that we realized how small and how helpless this planet is--something that we must hold in our arms and care for."- Margaret Mead
