“We face so many overlapping and intersecting crises that we can't afford to fix them one at a time. We need integrated solutions, solutions that radically bring down emissions while creating huge numbers of good, unionized jobs and delivering meaningful justice to those who have been most abused and excluded under the current extractive economy.”
― Naomi Klein, On Fire: The Case for the Green New Deal

“The better news is that as we transform how we generate energy, how we move ourselves around, how we grow our food and how we live in cities, we have a historic opportunity to build a society that is fairer on every front, and where everyone is valued. Here's how we do it. We make sure that, wherever possible, our renewable energy comes from community-controlled providers and cooperatives, so that decisions about land use are made democratically and profits from energy production are used to pay for much-needed services.”

“Too often, when politicians introduce climate policies divorced from a broader agenda of economic justice, the policies they introduce are actively unjust.”

“Enough is a decision, not a quantity.”

“I have taken one main lesson from observing the struggles of Richmond and other communities like it: we think of power as belonging only to a select few, those who rule the world and those who own most of the wealth. But there is a kind of power that grows from the ground around you. Power can come from community. Power can come from home—from knowing that we belong to a place and a planet, and it is our collective job to grow something useful here and to create space for the generations that come after us.”

“The richest 1 per cent of the world's population are responsible for more than twice as much carbon pollution as the people who make up the poorest half of humanity.”

“How is it that we already have so many solutions to the climate crisis that don't compromise human rights or justice, but the only solutions being seriously considered are the ones that do?”
― Mikaela Loach, It's Not That Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World

“Why is it that ending capitalism, whiteness and living in a world where all of us can live in dignity and safety can be harder to conceptualise than imagining the end of the world?”
― Mikaela Loach, It's Not That Radical: Climate Action to Transform Our World

“Consumers' cannot stop climate change because capitalism is not compatible with a climate-just world. But active citizens CAN. Movements CAN. WE CAN when we challenge and disrupt these systems, rather than limiting our power and actions to those which are within it.”

“Climate change
is a man-made problem
that requires a feminist solution.”
― Mary Robinson

“These raindrops make me feel
the sky is crying
when the whole world
goes up in flames
may be she will not have
any more tears to cry
rivers are drying up
tsunamis come uninvited
acid rain has made inroads
of what chemicals are tears made of
why do I cry everytime it rains...”
― Avijeet Das

“On a planet with 300 million species and 7 billion humans, one man determining the future is a dangerous idea. It is dangerous for the Earth, because the anthropocentric, reductionist, and mechanistic assumptions by which Gates is guided are at the root of the ecological crisis that has brought us to the brink.”
