Translation: What keeps us from saving the Earth's biosphere? Every other things seem to be more important than the one we can't live without. Our heads are filled with all kinds of garbage so that we wouldn't care and so that someone would get money. "If we do not destroy ourselves we will one day venture to the stars." Carl Sagan! Translation: Wait! You are my hero! "Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it is time to control the population to allow the survival of the environment." Sir David Attenborough! Wha--? Hoo! Richard Dawkins! Translation: "I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world." Yes it is important to gather information and questioning what we hear. It is important to think and ask "Why?" just in case. "If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them that we still dig fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy." Neil deGrasse Tyson! Translation: "I am only a child yet I know, if all the money spend on war, was spend on finding environmental answers ending poverty and finding treaties, what a wonderful place this earth would be." Severn Cullis-Suzuki! Albert Einstein? "Every little flower of curiosity is crushed by society itself." There would be so many wonderful things in the world if one would be curious and look for them. Translation: You would use your time for hanging around and wouldn't support the economy! How would anyone live if nobody would consume and the money wouldn't circulate? By the way buy this cool new thing! There has to be a better way! It can't be that the rich ones have to consume to ensure the poorer ones workplaces! The money could be made to circulate in different way if we wanted to! Translation: But we are so very greedy. Maybe at some point humans benefited from their need to always make our living more comfortable. But now it only causes trouble or we should make improvements in a different way. The intrinsic value of nature isn't  a concern to everyone, but destroying the nature destroys us too. We are part of nature. Don't any policy makers have children whose future they would be concerned about?! Daddy! Translation: Come and see if you can tell what kind of frog I found! I might not know, but let's find out. Maybe nobody knows exactly how to so save the biosphere, but if we stop asking questions, we won't get answers. Oh! Alice Roberts! "Science is the best tool for understanding the world around us, and that is enriching in itself, as well as essential  to making all sorts of political, economic and environmental decisions." Translation: That sure was messy. At least I mentioned some interesting people.
