Dalai Lama Environment Quotations

The earth is not just our environment. The earth is our mother.

Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing when it has been earned in an honest manner and neither other individuals nor the environment suffered for it.

When we talk about global crisis, or a crisis of humanity, we cannot blame a few politicians, a few fanatics, or a few troublemakers. The whole of humanity has a responsibility because it is our business, human business. I call this a sense of universal responsibility. That is a crucial point.

Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment.

We share the earth not only with our fellow human beings, but with all the other creatures.

The natural environment sustains the life of all beings universally.

Be gentle with the earth.

It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.

There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environmental degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful.
