Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.
When we realize we can make a buck cleaning up the environment, it will be done!
If you don't generate tension in the film to begin with... you can't really make a purse out of a sow's ear, you know.
It's not an if - we're going to have to change. Oil is simply going to be gone.
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.
Whatever we'll be forced to do later, we should be doing now.
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 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.
When I was a kid, we never heard of smog, ozone depletion, acid rain, green house gasses.
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.
If we had a hydrogen economy worldwide, every nation on earth could create its own energy source to support its economy, and the threat of war over diminishing resources would just evaporate.
Changing mass consciousness is an individual responsibility.
We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.
