will take a massive effort to move society from corporate domination, in which
industry's rights to pollute and damage health and the environment supersede the
public's right to live, work, and play in safety. This is a political fight. The

will need to keep building the movement, networking with one another, planning,
strategizing, and moving forward. Our children's futures, and those of their unborn
children, are at stake."
~ Lois Gibbs |  |

leadership has to be focused on some very radical ideas that only we as 21st Century

making sure we hold people and corporations accountable for the damage they do
not only to our environment but to our institutions."

Glover

children does not count. In too many parts of the world, they are forgotten.
-- Liya Kebede |

"...the
gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality
of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of
our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate
or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our
courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion
to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life
worthwhile. "
-- Robert
F. Kennedy |
