kevin p. siu musings on technology, politics, and the world

David Suzuki

Some tidbits from Friday's David Suzuki talk at the University of Toronto, which was spectacularly done.

"We are turning our backs on the very survival mechanism that got our species here in the first place."

"We are air - everything we do to the air, we do directly to ourselves."

"There is no crisis of the environment - the crisis is us."

"Economy and ecology are from the same root word meaning home ... it is time to put 'eco' back into economics."

"Economists seem to think that the economy can grow forever ... nothing can grow forever."
