“My father, Robert Kennedy, said, 'Some see things as they are and ask why, others dream of things that never were and ask WHY NOT?’ We dream of a pollution-free, energy efficient future and we can summon the will to make our dream come true.”

“The artist's greatest asset is the beauty of life freely provided by our thriving planet. Forbid the day when nature ceases to inspire awe. We must labor to ensure that the earth captured in a painting will be the earth lived upon for generations to come.”

"From a corporate standpoint, protecting the environment serves as both a mandate and opportunity. A sustainable future for our children must begin with business leaders willing to take the calculated risk to promote green develop-
ment and green operating standards.”

“As the ‘Green Connection’ grows, it appears that there will be many more positions in employment that will be available in this field and new jobs will be created. This could be a whole new area of employment in the future.”

"Society as a whole has a responsibility to the environ-
ment, but today’s business sectors have the opportunity to be more effective than any one individual.”

“The trick is, don't try to do everything at once. Every time we take another baby step toward becoming more environmentally friendly, we feel more proud of our work and connected to our planet.”

"To be effective worldwide, environmental efforts have to be both good for the earth and good for businesses. I strongly support initiatives to bring both together.”

“The environment, God's gift.”

“If we all just did a little something everyday to help our environment, it would be a step in the right direction. Take shorter showers, don't use paper and plastic bags, shut the lights off, don't litter. We need to make these simple things part of our daily routine. Just doing the little things is a start.”

“Being Green isn't just about buying a car that doesn't pollute or unplugging your toaster when you don't need it. It's about co-existing with our planet. For years we have been taking the life out of Mother Earth with almost no regard for the consequences. I believe we have entered an age of awareness. An awareness that we ARE the earth. Trees, plants, people, the cigarette butt you throw out of your car window. It's essentially all made up of the same stuff. If we shift our awareness to include everything you see, hear, taste, touch and smell...everything becomes beautiful. And, if everything is beautiful...we will treat it as such.”

“Sustainability and Green choices start within oneself. Let's make Green choices for ourselves and our business because it's the right thing to do."

"As an entrepreneur, I understand the trade-off of risk verses reward. Investing in Green business not only reduces risk, but make future returns almost inevitable as energy and commodity prices begin to rise."
