David Krieger, Truthout: ''We need a new Earth ethic that embraces our responsibility for fairness to each other and to the future. We need new ways of educating that do not simply accept the status quo. We need to trade in our patriotism for a global humatriotism. We need a new approach to economics based on what is truly precious, life and the conditions that support it. Earth Day will have its greatest value if it reminds us to care for our Earth and each other all the other days of the year, individually and through our public policy.''

Free Your (Eco)Mind

Frances Moore Lappe, YES! Magazine: ''A new way of seeing that is opening up to us can form a more life-serving mental map. I call it 'eco-mind', looking at the world through the lens of ecology. This worldview recognizes that we, no less than any other organism, live in relation to everything else.... As part of this shift, breakthroughs in a range of disciplines are confirming what we already know about ourselves, if we stop and think about it: That humans are complex creatures.''
