“There may be some grand, sacrificial, heroic answers,
but the best answers I know are almost trivial. Environmental problems are caused
by billions of small, unthinking actions. They will be cured by billions of small, sensible actions,
simple substitutions of environmentally conscious habits
for the old thoughtless and wasteful ones”.
