nature earth-day understanding
An understanding of the natural world and what's in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.
emotional interesting body
Life is not all high emotion. Some of the most interesting things are when its not highly emotional: little details of relationships and body language.
interesting world fortune
I'm swanning round the world looking at the most fabulously interesting things. Such good fortune.
stars two care
It is that range of biodiversity that we must care for - the whole thing - rather than just one or two stars.
thinking challenges doubt
I'm no longer sceptical. I no longer have any doubt at all. I think climate change is the major challenge facing the world.
eye bird ears
Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?
animal different alive
There are some four million different kinds of animals and plants in the world. Four million different solutions to the problems of staying alive.
baby eye thinking
Apart from anything else, I am designed by evolution, like we all are: if we see a little thing like that, big eyes, tiny nose, we go 'aaah'. That's what evolution does. We are programmed to do that. So to find babies the most amazing, isn't surprising, I don't think.
world humans ifs
If we [humans] disappeared overnight, the world would probably be better off.

Well, I'm having a good time. Which makes me feel guilty too. How very English.

Bringing nature into the classroom can kindle a fascination and passion for the diversity of life on earth and can motivate a sense of responsibility to safeguard it.
travel wish half
I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.
choices environment cherish
We can now destroy or we can cherish-the choice is ours.
real believe thinking
I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real. I think there may be something in that.
