My father was the Florida state director of The Nature Conservancy.
We have a project with Unocal here in Los Angeles, where we as an environmental organization, the oil company, and the state all get together to promote the recycling of used motor oil.
I'm not a poster boy for Conservation International. I'm a working member of the board.
Don't attempt to reform man. An adequately organized environment will permit humanity's original, innate capabilities to become successful.
Once we get three more directors elected, the Sierra Club will no longer be pro-hunting and pro-trapping and we can use the resources of the $95-million-a-year budget to address some of these issues.
The Sierra Club is a very good and a very powerful force for conservation and, as a matter of fact, has grown faster since I left than it was growing while I was there! It must be doing something right.
The Sierra Club in the United States has now really come out for population control and reduction.
I have the endorsement of the Sierra Club, and I'm very proud of that.
They are a fairly aggressive conservation organization that was started to protect the great whales particularly, but in general all marine life around the world. So those are the people I'm trying to attach my name to.
I didn't want to be president of the World Wildlife Fund. I was asked to do it. I'd much rather have stayed in the navy, frankly.
When do we ask the Sierra Club to pick up the tab for this leak?
