George Monbiot Quote: “August 28th 2012. Remember that date. It marks the day when the world went raving mad.”
George Monbiot Quote: “It is a campaign not for abundance but for austerity. It is a campaign not for more freedom but for less. Strangest of all, it is a campaign not just against other people, but against ourselves.”
George Monbiot Quote: “Evidence supporting James Lovelock’s ‘Gaia hypothesis’ – that the earth functions as a coherent and self-regulating system – appears, at the ecosystem level, to be accumulating.”
George Monbiot Quote: “Almost everywhere, climate change denial now looks as stupid and as unacceptable as Holocaust denial.”
George Monbiot Quote: “The schedules are crammed with shows urging us to travel further, drive faster, build bigger, buy more, yet none of them are deemed to offend the rules, which really means that they don’t offend the interests of business or the pampered sensibilities of the Aga class. The media, driven by fear and advertising, are hopelessly biased towards the consumer economy and against the biosphere.”
George Monbiot Quote: “I thought of walks in the English countryside, where people start shouting at you as soon as you stray from the footpath.”
George Monbiot Quote: “The problem is compounded by the fact that the connection between cause and effect seems so improbable. By turning on the lights, filling the kettle, taking the children to school, driving to the shops, we are condemning other people to death. We never chose to do this. We do not see ourselves as killers. We perform these acts without passion or intent.”
George Monbiot Quote: “To know what comes next has been perhaps the dominant aim of materially complex societies. Yet, having achieved it, or almost achieved it, we have been rewarded with a new collection of unmet needs. We have privileged safety over experience; gained much in doing so, and lost much.”
George Monbiot Quote: “Trees for Life.”
George Monbiot Quote: “Perhaps there is no remaining moral space for the exercise of physical courage. Wherever you might seek to swing your fist, someone’s nose is in the way.”
George Monbiot Quote: “In managing our transport systems, our governments must constantly negotiate the paradox of mass movement. They must create a system which, for the sake of speed and efficiency, treats us like a herd, constantly prodded and coralled, divided, re-formed and forced into line. At the same time it must grant us the illusion of autonomy.”
George Monbiot Quote: “This, as far as I can discover, was the first concrete step taken in Wales towards reintroducing an extinct mammal. Here, at Blaeneinion, at the source of the stream which runs through the stunning Cwm Einion into the Dyfi estuary, a group of volunteers had enclosed three acres of land around an old carp pond. People had been talking about returning the beaver to Wales for years. Now, at last, something was happening.”
George Monbiot Quote: “The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee About his shadowy sides; above him swell Huge sponges of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a wondrous grot and secret cell Unnumbered and enormous polypi Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green. Alfred Lord Tennyson.”
George Monbiot Quote: “By damaging the potential for wildlife tourism in Scotland, the deer and grouse industries could be destroying more employment than they generate.”
George Monbiot Quote: “We have not wholly shed our sense of a sacred duty to proclaim ‘dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth’.”
George Monbiot Quote: “An attraction to large predators often seems to be associated with misanthropy, racism and the far right.”
George Monbiot Quote: “I believe that informed adults should be allowed to inflict whatever suffering they wish – on themselves. But we are not entitled to harm other people.”
