Woo....I found some cool quotes about the environment and just wanted to share them w/ you guys! Feel free to add any too. ^_^
"Save the Earth! It's the only planet with chocolate!" -Anonymous
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." -Frank Lloyd Wright
"We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." -Aldo Leopold
"To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase it's usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very properity which we ought by right to hand down to them amplified and developed." -Theodore Roosevelt
"If we do not permit the Earth to produce beauty and joy, it will in the end not produce food either." -Joseph Woodcrutch
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -Albert Camus
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts." -Rachel Carson, considered the mother of environmentalism with her book Silent Spring, which opposed pesticides and brought to view the dangers the chemicals present.
"Whatever befalls the Earth - befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life - he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." -Chief Seattle (He might not have said this since this is merely a translation of a speech he made. The translation is done by a not-so-well-liked person.)
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like falling leaves." -John Muir, a huge activist in National Parks
"When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." -John Muir again. smile
"Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life." -Again, John Muir
"To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug." -Helen Keller
"Every now and again take a good look at something not made with hands, a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream. There will come to you wisdom and patience and solace and, above all, the assurance that you are not alone in the world." -Sidney Lovett
That's all I have for now! Please continue the list!

"Nature is the very way of Life of which one must respect and treat with kindness. Otherwise, what is left to Nature if we destroy it and thus destroy ourselves?" -- Me. ^_^;;

Although not exactly environmental, I think that we can all relate to this one.
