Environmental Quote of the Day

After randomly coming across the Grinning Planet website I think Sunday is a good day for a couple of quotes that caught my eye.

"The superior man seeks what is right; the inferior one, what is profitable."
— Confucius

"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard."
— Gaylord Nelson former governor of Wisconsin, co-founder of Earth Day

"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
— Lee Iacocca, CEO/Chairman, Chrysler Corporation, 1979-1992

"There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all."
— Robert Orben

Love that Iacoca quote. He probably never asked how many companies do American taxpayers have to bail out...
