Quotes by Mark Avery (?)

“You have the knowledge and ability to live sustainably on this planet but it's a hard road from where you are now. It's no longer a matter of what you know - you know enough. From here on, it's a test of whether you care - do you care enough?”
― Mark Avery, A Message from Martha: The Extinction of the Passenger Pigeon and Its Relevance Today

“If we continue laying waste to the diversity of life and the natural beauty on the planet then we are like vandals going through an art gallery with spray-paint and Stanley knives. When we come out the other side, or when we grow up, we look back and wonder why we didn't behave with more restraint, and we realize that the excitement and enjoyment that we had was rather twisted and in no way was worth the damage we did. Nobody gains from our vandalism and we are ourselves diminished.”
― Mark Avery, A Message from Martha: The Extinction of the Passenger Pigeon and Its Relevance Today
