Moral Ground Quotes

“We must live according to the principle of a land ethic. The alternative is that we shall not live at all.”
― Kathleen Dean Moore, Moral Ground: Ethical Action for a Planet in Peril

“We are the only species on the planet without full employment. Brilliant. We have an economy that tells us that it is cheaper to destroy Earth in real time than to renew, restore, and sustain it. You can print money to bail out a bank, but you can’t print life to bail out a planet. At present we are stealing the future, selling it in the present, and calling it “gross domestic product.”
