Mary Robinson

“What would happen if we all cut our meat consumption just by fifty percent? Or if we got our electricity down by twenty percent? Or bought fifty percent less ‘stuff’? If somebody just does it on their own, you think, what difference will it make? But if whole communities do it—if the entire population lived differently—it changes the system. There is so much power in actions like lifestyle change because not only does it cut pollution, it also helps you to find your voice.”

“Poor is poor, in any language.”
― Mary Robinson, Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future
