• Resulta que el conservacionismo puede ser divertido, con la noticia de que el cangrejo real rojo noruego -que pesa un impresionante kilo entero de jugoso cangrejo por caparazón- debe comerse tanto como sea posible, porque se está comiendo a todos los demás peces de Noruega. De hecho, sería una negligencia por nuestra parte no comer todos los bichos que podamos cada semana, ya que suponen una auténtica amenaza ecológica para la vida marina. Así que, vamos vegetarianos. Veamos cuánto os importa realmente el medio ambiente.

• Frente a la destrucción generalizada del medio ambiente, la gente de todo el mundo está comprendiendo que no podemos seguir utilizando los bienes de la tierra como lo hemos hecho en el pasado ... [Una] nueva conciencia ecológica está empezando a surgir que, en lugar de ser minimizada, debería ser alentada a desarrollarse en programas e iniciativas concretas. [Está empezando a surgir una nueva conciencia ecológica que, en lugar de ser minimizada, debería ser alentada a convertirse en programas e iniciativas concretas.

• Las aves ... son indicadores sensibles del medio ambiente, una especie de "papel tornasol ecológico", ... La observación y el registro de las poblaciones de aves a lo largo del tiempo conducen inevitablemente a la concienciación medioambiental y pueden señalar cambios inminentes.

• People look at the future and see a black hole. They look at climate change and see an ecological crisis. They look at their leaders corrupted by money and see a political crisis. They wonder if they'll ever be able to pay off their student loan or own a house. Given this ecological, political and financial crisis, what they want is a different future. Their fundamental demand is a different regime to provide that future.

• If you understand it from an ecological or sustainability perspective, agriculture is the primary way we meet most of our needs, and it's the greatest form of human intervention on our environment. It has intimately shaped our culture as powerfully as industrial modernity, but for ten thousand years rather than two hundred.

• The only acceptable way to solve ecological problems is if you can persuade people to have fewer children. In the Victorian times, there were families of 15 children. Someone like Edward Lear, he was the last of 21 children. And so what we have to think about is offering people the alternative choice. And in the West, that's what's happening. The birth rate has been dropping steadily and still is. I'm wanting human beings to be better off so they don't view children as an insurance for the future.

• Palestine is about how we drink the water, whether we are being ecological or not. Palestine is our way of exercising our daily living. That's what's going to solve the problem of Palestine. It's also how we think of ourselves spiritually. This kind of disconnectedness is harmful to the person who is acting that way and is sometimes annoying.

• No, Simi. No food. (Astrid) ‘No, Simi. No food.’ You sound like akri. ‘Don’t eat that, Simi, you’ll cause an ecological disaster.’ What is an ecological disaster, that’s what I want to know? Akri says it’s me on hunger binge, but I don’t think that’s quite right, but that’s all he’ll say about it. (Simi)

• Y entonces Jack taló la que era la última planta de judías del mundo, añadiendo asesinato y terrorismo ecológico a los cargos de robo, instigación y allanamiento de morada ya mencionados, y todos los hijos del gigante dejaron de tener papá. Pero se salió con la suya y vivió feliz para siempre, sin ni siquiera una punzada de culpabilidad por lo que había hecho... lo que demuestra que se te puede excusar de casi todo si eres un héroe, porque nadie hace preguntas inconvenientes.

• The ecological impact of book manufacture and traditional book marketing - I think that should really be considered. We have this industry in which we cut down trees to make the paper that we then use enormous amounts of electricity to turn into books that weigh a great deal and are then shipped enormous distances to point-of-sale retail.

• In the West, when all of these reactors, nuclear reactors, are matters...part of the public domain, there are all kinds of supervision over them. We see that the ecological movement, environmentalist movement, organizes all kinds of demonstrations against these. They lie on railroads, they tie themselves to the gates.

• El odio de la cultura juvenil a la sociedad adulta no es un juicio desinteresado, sino un rechazo aterrorizado a engancharse a la, si se quiere, cadena ecológica de respirar, crecer y morir. Es la exigencia, en otras palabras, de seguir siendo niños.

• A pesar de uno o dos llamamientos minoritarios, nuestra sociedad no se indigna ante el uso incesante que el hombre hace del mundo animal. Los ecologistas y los defensores del medio ambiente pueden hablar de "conciencia ecológica" o "responsabilidad medioambiental", pero rara vez, o nunca, se articula esta responsabilidad hacia otras especies no humanas en particular.

• As the biocentric view suggests, the garden prospers when control is balanced by equal measures of humility and benevolence. A balance is struck. Control, servitude, respect, imagination, pragmatism, an ecological conscience, compliance, and a certain measure of mysticism and altruism, all meld together to provide nurturance.

• Doom yourself to horrific climate change by burning all that carbon and releasing all that CO2. Or power down society, reducing total energy usage around the planet. One leads to ecological collapse. The other is a reversion, in many ways, to poverty.

• No se puede "convencer" al capitalismo de que limite su crecimiento, como no se puede "convencer" a un ser humano de que deje de respirar. Los intentos de "enverdecer" el capitalismo, de hacerlo "ecológico", están condenados al fracaso por la propia naturaleza del sistema como sistema de crecimiento sin fin.

• The dialectical or ecological approach asserts that creating the world is involved in our every act. It is impossible for us to operate in our daily lives and not create the world that everyone must live in. What we desire arranges the genetic code in all of our major crops and livestock. We cannot avoid participating in the creation, and it is in agriculture, far and away our largest and most basic artifact, that human culture and the creation totally interpenetrate.

• A estas alturas de nuestra crisis ecológica global, la supervivencia de la humanidad exigirá un cambio fundamental en nuestra actitud hacia la naturaleza: de averiguar cómo podemos dominarla y manipularla a cómo podemos aprender de ella. En este libro brillante y esperanzador, Jay Harman nos muestra hasta qué punto el nuevo campo de la biomímesis ya ha avanzado hacia este objetivo. El pincel del tiburón es una lectura fascinante y alegre, muy necesaria en estos tiempos oscuros.
