Forests require many years to mature; consequently the long point of view is necessary if the forests are to be maintained for the good of our country.

There is a new awakening to the importance of the forests to the country, and if you foresters remain true to your ideals, the country may confidently trust its most precious heritage to your safe-keeping.

We need to grow food, and we need to grow fuel. Imagine if, instead of dust rising into the sky, the carbon started returning to the Earth.

We have to get to the point where we all come together, and we realize that we're all on the same Earth, and there's one way we can fix it.

The climate is like a bathtub that's slowly filling up with water. Even if we slow the flow of water to a trickle, the tub will eventually fill up and water will come spilling out onto the floor. That's the disaster we have to prevent. Setting a goal to only reduce our emissions-but not eliminate them-won't do it.

We think of our land and water and human resources not as static and sterile possessions but as life giving assets to be directed by wise provisions for future days.
