**QUOTE(s)** of the week
"I’ve been watching what’s happening and saying, ‘Those morons don’t know what they’re doing.’" -James Cameron responds to the Oil Spill/BP leaders.
"Impacts from agriculture are expected to increase substantially due to population growth increasing consumption of animal products. Unlike fossil fuels, it is difficult to look for alternatives: people have to eat. A substantial reduction of impacts would only be possible with a substantial worldwide diet change, away from animal products." -UN on Meat-free.
