August 19, 2013 In Pursuit of Happiness: Becoming Beloved Community - John A. Powell and Grace Bauer | Bioneers Radio Series XIII (2013)
It's obvious that we're not here for ourselves. That makes no evolutionary sense.

August 07, 2013 The New Abolitionists: Farewell, Fossil Fuels - Sandra Steingraber and Bill McKibben | Bioneers Radio Series XIII (2013)
I don't want to write words that fill jail cells, and yet it is my abiding responsibility to protect my children from harm and plan for their future. And my neighbors feel the same way. If the air, food and water out of which our children's bodies are constructed are contaminated, we can't do our job as parents. If the day comes when I can be a better mother inside of jail than outside, I will be that mother.

July 31, 2013 Regeneration: Wisdom of the Wild, Generosity of the Heart - Paul Hawken | Bioneers Radio Series XIII (2013)
What we're trying to do is not about winning, it's about losing, and it's about losing this burden of having to make it, to be rich, to be comfortable, to be seen, to be famous, to be followed, to be friended, to be known. We don't need all that because it's an upside down world and the winners are the losers. And what we lose is the delusion and suffering that we are here on Earth for ourselves. That is such a delusion, you know. Takers suffer always.
