Jim Clyburn Quotes

This Earth is our only home. Together, we must protect and cherish it.

We have a responsibility to Mother Earth to protect it as much as possible.

Most times, Mother Earth's resources are used up without the realisation that these thoughtless actions might just be the root cause for the hardships future generations may face. It is everyone's responsibility to hand over a green, clean, and healthy environment to them.

What pleases me most is that sustainable development is on almost everybody's agenda now.

We're busily wrecking the chances for future generations at a rapid rate of knots by not recognizing the damage we're doing to the natural environment, bearing in mind that this is the only planet that we know has any life on it.

If nature were a bank, they would have already rescued it.

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.

We owe it to each other - and to our children and grandchildren - to leave our planet in a better state than when we found it.

So often we talk about saving the planet, but what we really mean is to save the planet the way it is, so we can live here. So that is can sustain us.

The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won't understand that if we don't protect those habitats, we'll eventually destroy ourselves.

I wouldn't want anyone to destroy the earth.

With the continued support of citizens who refuse to accept inaction at the expense of future generations, we will lead the world toward a sustainable future.
