I think there will come a time when civilized people will look back in horror on our generation and the ones that have preceded it; the idea that we should eat other living things running around on four legs, that we should raise them just for the purpose of killing them! The people of the future will say 'meat-eaters' in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
It's not an if - we're going to have to change. Oil is simply going to be gone.
It's fun to be a little bit different in the world, to make a few new trails of your own.
When I was a kid, we never heard of smog, ozone depletion, acid rain, green house gasses.
The Age of Oil has really exhausted its usefulness, and it has actually become a danger to our lives and our ability to survive on the planet.
There can be no lasting peace, no security, nor can we as human beings begin to touch our full potential, as long as hunger overwhelms the human spirit around this planet.
Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.
If we were driving pure hydrogen automobiles, that automobile would actually help clean up the air because the air coming out of the exhaust would be cleaner than the air going into the engine intake.
Coming back to a television series puts you back in the limelight and gives you a platform for your ideas. If you're not acting on a series, you don't get the ability to communicate to people.
I feel responsible; I feel I've got to do something that will leave the kids a place where they can live healthy, safe, productive, creative and prosperous lives.
Business has to change the way it does business, or we will make no significant changes in the way we relate to the earth.
Business must be the solution, not the problem.
I became a vegetarian in 1958 and it was very difficult in those days to really maintain that because there weren't many options... alternatives. But, now, it's a growing trend because... the economics are there. See, there's simply enough people demanding it that it's profitable to supply vegetarians with those products.
The people of the future will say, meat-eaters in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
