“You see, we should make use of the forces of nature and should obtain all our power in this way. Sunshine is a form of energy, wind and sea currents are manifestations of this energy. Do we make use of them? Oh no! We burn forests and coal, like tenants burning down our front door for heating. We live like wild settlers and not as though these resources belong to us.“
Thomas A. Edison, 1916

"When human beings lose their connection to nature , to heaven
and earth, then they do not know how to nurture their environment or how to rule their
world-which is the same thing. Human beings destroy thier ecology at the same time that
they destroy one another. From that perspective healing society goes hand in hand with
healing our personal elemental connection with the phenomenal world." Chugyam Trungpa
