Five sustainability quotes superimposed over images of mountains, forests and a child hugging a very large tree. Cheesy? Perhaps. True? Hell yes.I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find those inspirational quotes strategically placed over a picture of a mountain or forest pretty damn cheesy. 

Am I a cynic? Why yes. Yes I am. But you know what else I am? I’m a dreamer and an optimist.

Especially when it comes to saving our planet. 

Which is why I wanted to share five sustainability quotes superimposed over images of mountains, forests and a child hugging a very large tree. 

Cheesy? Perhaps. True? Hell yes.

Sustainability Quotes:
“If you really think the economy is more important than the environment, try holding your breath whilst you count your money.” – Dr Guy McPherson (Image Credit: Pinterest)
Sustainability Quotes:
“When we destroy something created by man we call it vandalism, but when we destroy something by nature we call it progress.”- Ed Begley Jr (Image Credit: Pinterest)
Sustainability Quotes:
“The earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the earth.” – Chief Seattle (Image Credit: Pinterest)

Sustainability Quotes:
“I don’t want to protect the environment. I want to create a world where the environment doesn’t need protecting.” – Unknown (Image Credit: Pinterest)
Sustainability Quotes:
“UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” – Dr Suess (Image Credit: Pinterest)

And, as a bonus, here is my favourite sustainability quote of all time, which I had previously shared in my How To Plant a Tree Sapling post.

Sustainability Quotes:
“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb (Pinterest)

 

My hope in sharing these is to spread the message that not only is saving the planet a worthwhile – and absolutely necessary – course of action, but it’s also completely doable. Let’s take these somewhat cheesy memes and turn them into real world actions. Sound good?

      Haha! Well I didn’t come up with the quotes nor superimpose them onto the images. I just gathered them up and presented them for your consideration. Not exactly fame-worthy, but I appreciate your praise all the same 🙂

      Pretty sure you can’t say pristine too many times when talking about the mountains. Pristine… Pristine… Pristine! Nope. It’s all good 😉
