Dame Barbara Ward 1914-1981, British Journalist, Economist, Conservationist:

We cannot cheat on DNA. We cannot get round photosynthesis. We cannot say I am not going to give a damn about phytoplankton. All these tiny mechanisms provide the preconditions of our planetary life. To say we do not care is to say in the most literal sense that ”we choose death.”
