| The growth in population is very much bound up with poverty, and in turn poverty plunders the earth. When human groups are dying of hunger, they eat everything; grass, insects, everything. They cut down trees, they leave the land dry and bare. All other concerns vanish. That's why in the next thirty years the problems we call "environmental" will be the hardest that humanity has to face. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, September 10, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
