The right to have our environment protected for the benefit of our generation and the benefit of future generations is our most crucial human right. … - Lewis Pugh

The right to have our environment protected for the benefit of present and future generations is our most important human right.

Law taught me how to argue passionately and rationally. That’s key to being a successful environmental campaigner. If you are too emotional you run the risk of turning off policy makers. And if you can’t present your arguments rationally, no one will listen to you.

I have been haunted by that swim through the whale graveyard and haven’t been able to get the image of the bones out of my head. Man hunted whales almost to the point of extinction, not seeming to care that we would lose one of the wonders of the sea world forever. It is the coldness of the water in Antarctica that preserves the bones and makes it look like they were left there yesterday but I like to think they are there as a reminder of man’s potential for folly.

Everywhere water is under threat. It is our most precious resource. And there is no alternative to it.
