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.
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.
The people of the future will say, 'meat-eaters!' in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
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.
Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.
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.
The premise is simple: One economy and one environment, and they're interdependent.
War is usually fought over diminishing resources, particulary those that we perceive to be extremely valuable.
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.
We should be able to support our own economy within our own borders.
