About This Quote

When you consider our planet as a victim, the possibilities of living here become clearer. Loving the Earth means loving all of its inhabitants, from the smallest animal to the greatest tree, and from the most humble flower to the tallest mountain. It means that we must protect every living thing from being harmed by humans and other creatures. This is what it really means to love life – to fight for life – and not just because it’s good for us to do so.

In fact, it’s not good for us at all. Our very existence depends on protecting life as much as possible.
