It’s getting hot

PUTNEY — This planet is getting crowded, and it's getting hot.

There is no free lunch; there is no free ride.

The prices are going to keep rising.

The rules are going to keep changing. It is not a good time to hide your head in the sand.

Every freedom has a cost. Each of us will end up paying something for everyone else's freedom.

Your personal pursuit of happiness had better not mess things up for everyone else.

Sharing is not just for children anymore; it's time to do more.

Start thinking smaller; small is beautiful.

The economy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ecology.

The Earth does not belong to us; we belong to the Earth.
