QUOTES

It's really important to me to show the interconnectedness of things. I always try to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism, animal rights -- all those things -- are one and the same.

"When I hear about all of the terrible things that are going on it makes me want to fight. I don't have a choice."

"I haven't been to a gas station in years. It feels so good not to be a slave to gas, playing the whole game of war for oil."

"I never had come up with a really profound and strong gesture -- nothing like Julia Butterfly's. So I figured the best thing I could do was live by my beliefs. That's probably the most profound thing that anybody can do."

"People have to know that there are options available to us today. There is another way, and it is practical and applicable now."

Anything you do sustainably feels so good that you're a full-on addict as soon as you try it. If you eat only vegetables and fruits that you grow yourself from your garden, or organic food, it tastes so much better and is so much better for you, you can't really go back."
