I’ve actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don’t mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.

Thich Nhat HanhWhen people get taken over by the ego to such an extent, there is nothing else in their mind except the ego. They can no longer feel or sense their humanity – what they share with other human beings, or even with other life forms on the planet. They are so identified with concepts in their minds that other human beings become concepts as well.
Eckhart TolleHe who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert EinsteinTake care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them.

Charlie ChaplinLong before the awakening of thought on earth, manifestations of cosmic energy must have been produced which have no parallel today.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinTo realize that you are not your thoughts is when you begin to awaken spiritually.
Eckhart TolleI really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It’s a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that’s what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.
Elon MuskContention existed before the earth was formed.
Russell M. NelsonWe may never be strong enough to be entirely nonviolent in thought, word and deed. But we must keep nonviolence as our goal and make strong progress towards it.

Eckhart TolleBiofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.

Thich Nhat HanhBeing at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.
Eckhart TolleTo meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you.
Thich Nhat HanhWe have to rethink our whole energy approach, which is hard to do because we’re so dependent on oil, not just for fuel but also plastic. If plastic vanished, there would be total chaos. We have to think quite carefully about using oil and its derivatives, because it’s not going to be around forever.
Margaret AtwoodI cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.
Wayne DyerWork as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.

Lao TzuI think that once you fully understand the climate and ecological emergencies, then you know what you can do as well. And, of course, there’s a lot of things you can do in your everyday life, but we cannot be focusing on these individual things you can do. We have to see the full picture.
Greta ThunbergIf I forget to pray, I can’t get through the day without snapping at people.
Mr. TI was inspired to spend an entire year – my 65th year – reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them and ultimately writing down these insights as I felt Lao-tzu wanted us to know them.
Wayne DyerIf you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
Jim CarreyWe have one planet in our solar system that’s habitable, and that’s the Earth, and space travel can transform things back here for the better. First of all, by just having people go to space and look back on this fragile planet we live on. People have come back transformed and have done fantastic things.
Richard BransonIf anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.
Elon MuskA man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

Aldous HuxleyWhatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

Stephen HawkingThere are thousands of ways to take action. For example, plant trees, pick up litter, join an organisation or movement that makes a difference and especially try to influence adults and put pressure on people in power.
Greta ThunbergI remember when I was younger, and in school, our teachers showed us films of plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. My classmates were concerned when they watched the film, but when it stopped, they started thinking about other things. I couldn’t do that. Those pictures were stuck in my head.
Greta ThunbergI guess I’m living in the present more than the past.
Clint EastwoodThe true cost to the world of a burger is far greater than the money you hand over to buy it.
Richard BransonToday, we’re very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted – all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
Bill GatesI have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.
Greta ThunbergExpect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
