“Most people want to do something, but many feel powerless. They see these gigantic problems and feel powerless to do anything about them. But they aren’t. That’s why it’s so important to provide opportunities for action. Every little helps.”

Céline Cousteau Explorer and environmental campaigner

“When it comes to the progress of humanity, the optimists have the facts on their side. They are the hard - headed realists, whereas the pessimists actually live in a state of delusion.”

Steven Pinker Professor at Harvard University, cognitive psychologist, author
