Jean-Michel Cousteau
Oceanographer
“All of us who live on this astonishing planet have to realize that
the ocean is our primary life-support
system. We have to stop abusing it.
We have to stop overfishing its depths
and destroying its coastal habitats.”

Jane Goodall
Primatologist
“Everyone—not just the youth—
must understand that we can change
the world if we spend a little more
time thinking about how the choices
we make affect the earth.”
Robert Kennedy Jr.
Environmentalist
“There are a lot of defeats in the
field I’ve chosen, but I detach myself
and say, ‘ The only thing I control is my
own conduct.’ I fight as hard as I can
to make sure that the world I leave
my children has the same good health
as the world my parents gave me.”
