Forests Are The Only Carbon Quotes & Sayings

The world's forests need to be seen for what they are.. giant global utilities, providing essential services to humanity on a vast scale.

We need a firm cap on carbon emissions from fossil fuels. No coal, oil, or gas could enter the economy until the buyer had a permit.
