Quote of the Month
"We're in deep trouble right now in terms of trying to save the
planet. But there is absolutely no future in cynicism: you can't
give up, and you shouldn't. We need to elect good people, need
to resist, need to always raise our voices. Action is a great way to
create hope, and people need to have hope to survive."
-- Activist Arturo Sandoval, one of the organizers of the
original Earth Day in 1970, in a recent interview
