• We're talking about should we increase taxes? Why not put a tax on carbon emissions. It would raise a lot of money, it would reduce the environmental damages in the future, it would solve so many problems, and it would be a much more constructive thing to do than to think about raising the income tax.

• Nuclear weapons production and testing has involved extensive health and environmental damage .... One of the most remarkable features of this damage has been the readiness of governments to harm the very people that they claimed they were protecting by building these weapons for national security reasons. In general, this harm was inflicted on people in disregard of democratic norms. Secrecy, fabrication of data, cover-ups in the face of attempted public inquiry, and even human experiments without informed consent have all occurred in nuclear weapons production and testing programs.

• Like for Putin it's really about hosting this two-week [Olympic] party and showing it off to the world.It's a pride thing. It's a big PR exercise for him and for Russia. So, at that point $50 billion and some environmental damage and a small city's future don't really matter.

• Las vacas producen unos 100 millones de toneladas de estiércol seco al año, lo que supone un coste de 5.000 millones de rupias y ahorra 50 millones de toneladas de leña, lo que significa que se salvan muchos árboles y se evitan más daños medioambientales. Se calcula que si hubiera que sustituir a estos 73 millones de animales, necesitaríamos 7,3 millones de tractores a un coste de 2,5 lac cada uno, lo que supondría una inversión de 180.000 crores. Además 2 crore, 37 lakh y 50 mil toneladas de diesel lo que supondría otros 57.000 crore de rupias. Esto es lo que debemos a estos animales, y esto es lo que podemos perder matándolos.

• En la medida de lo posible, intento tomar decisiones que impliquen el menor grado de crueldad y daño ambiental. Me interesan la agricultura sostenible, las cuestiones medioambientales, los derechos humanos y mi interconexión en la red de la vida. Para mí es un gran placer encontrar productos y prácticas que tengan un efecto positivo sobre los seres vivos y el medio ambiente, en lugar de uno negativo.

• There are nuclear weapons in China, Iran, Korea and Pakistan. It wouldn't take much to send a couple of warheads off on this planet somewhere that would cause a lot of environmental damage, then if you have got someone who wants to retaliate you have real problems.
