It is one thing that all of us share. It is not only a mirror of ourselves, but a focusing lens on what we can become. - Claudia Alta Johnson (Lady Bird Johnson) (nee Taylor) The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future. - Marya Mannes We won't have a society if we destroy the environment. - Margaret Mead A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it than by the woods and swamps that surround it. - Henry David Thoreau
