It's time for us now as a nation to exercise the same reasonable foresight in dealing with our great natural resources that would be shown by any prudent man in conserving and widely using the property which contains the assurance of well-being for himself and his children.
The Congress, the Administration and the public all share a profound commitment to the rescue of our natural environment, and the preservation of the Earth as a place both habitable by and hospitable to man.
Preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge; it's common sense.
Good stewardship of the environment is not just a personal responsibility, it is a public value...Our duty is to use the land well, and sometimes not to use it at all. This is our responsibility as citizens, but more than that, it is our calling as stewards of the earth.
There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and growing threat of a changing climate.
A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can't be any more desperate or clear.
