The change is here, the change is us. Peak oil quotes: What is Peak Oil? Colin Campbell: "The term Peak Oil refers the maximum rate of the production of oil in any area under consideration, recognising that it is a finite natural resource, subject to depletion." “Peak Oil is not a theory.” Dr. Robert L. Hirsch, author of the Hirsch Report Other quotes: "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell." - Edward Abbey "If it had been the purpose of human activity on earth to bring the planet to the edge of ruin, no more efficient mechanism could have been invented than the market economy." - Jeremy Seabrook "Zemlja ne umire, nju ubijaju. A oni koji je ubijaju imaju ime i adresu." Utah Phillips “We won't have a society if we destroy the environment” Margaret Mead "I fail to understand why we all should participate in a global experiment to find out how many people the Earth can feed."
