“I thought that 30 years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy, and to deal with these we need a cultural and spiritual transformation. And we scientists don’t know how to do that.”
James Gustave Speth. (American environmental lawyer and advocate, co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council)

@NorthernInvader nah. We need environmental laws that prevent corporations from polluting.
@NorthernInvader Corps give off more pollution than consumers... even though there are more consumers.
Since 1988, just 100 companies have been responsible for 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
