• Although population and consumption are societal issues, technology is the business of business. If economic activity must increase tenfold over what it is today to support a population nearly double its current size, then technology will have to reduce its impact twenty-fold merely to keep the planet at its current levels of environmental impact. For example, to stabilize the climate we may have to reduce real carbon emissions by as much as 80 percent, while simultaneously growing the world economy by an order of magnitude.

• Los que pensamos en lo que comemos, en cómo se cultiva, los que nos preocupamos por el impacto ambiental de los alimentos, hemos sido educados por libros fabulosos, como Fast Food Nation y documentales como Food Inc.

• Letting the perfect be the enemy of the good is one of the reasons we have a coal-dependent infrastructure, with the resulting environmental impact that all of us can see. I suspect environmentalists, through their opposition of nuclear power, have caused more coal plants to be built than anybody. And those coal plants have emitted more radioactive material from the coal than any nuclear accident would have.

• The government of Qatar, as I mentioned, has proposed to come and lease Kenya's Tana River delta in order to farm there. What I am not sure of is, has an environmental impact assessment been made to ensure that exploiting this delta for agricultural activities is the best way we can use the delta?We must be concerned about the long-term impact of agricultural activities in the delta.

• Pero por grande que sea el esfuerzo por impulsar una línea propagandística, el cambio climático es más grande. Es, sin duda y lamentablemente, el mayor reto medioambiental inmediato a largo plazo al que nos enfrentamos. La incapacidad de llegar a algún resultado político concreto sobre el cambio climático no sólo tiene un impacto medioambiental negativo, sino también consecuencias sociales y económicas para nosotros.

• What's it like to envision the ten-thousand-year environmental impact of tossing a plastic bottle into the trash bin, all in the single second it takes to actually toss it?
