Additional quotes by David Suzuki

I think even a lot of really committed environmentalists, they think, well, if everybody drives an electric car, and we have all LED lights, and and you know, that somehow everything will be fine. No, it's not going to be that simple. Reduction of our fossil fuel use by 2030. Everything is going to change and we can't go on in this hyper consuming way. There going to be massive changes.

Oh, I think Canada is full too!
Although it’s the second largest country in the world, our useful area has been reduced.
Our immigration policy is disgusting:
We plunder southern countries by depriving them of future leaders,
and we want to increase our population to support economic growth.
It’s crazy!
