Lines that Stood Out

The two quotes that stuck out to me from our readings were

Hot Flat and Crowded, pg 177.
Nicolas Sarkozy, " When America us not taking the lead on such an important global issue as climate change, I am asking, "Where is the American Dream? What has happened? Where has it gone?"...You cannot be the first champion of human rights and the last when it comes to obligations and responsibilities on environment"

* Vandana Shiva, “Globalization and the War Against Farmers and the Land,” in Norman Wirzba (ed.) The Essential Agrarian Reader (University Press of Kentucky, 2003) pp. 121-139.

"famines occur because they are not prevented: they are allowed to happen."
