Forcing	 people	 to	 be	 generous	 isn’t	 humanitarian,	 effective,	 compassionate	 or
moral.	 Only	 acts	 that	 are	 truly	 voluntary	 for	 all	 concerned	 can	 be	 truly
compassionate.

         —Harry	 Browne,	 director	 of	 public	 policy,	 American	 Liberty	 Foundation	 Only	 a	 life	 lived	 in	 the
            service	to	others	is	worth	living.

         —	Albert	Einstein,	developer	of	the	theory	of	evolution

Life	is	not	about	receiving.	It’s	about	giving,	knowing	that	someone	might	learn,
understand	or	grow	that	little	bit	from	the	experience.

         —Peter	Ellis,	author

If	we	only	have	great	companies,	we	will	merely	have	a	prosperous	society,	not
a	great	one.	Economic	growth	and	power	are	the	means,	not	the	definition,	of	a
great	nation.

         —Jim	Collins,	business	consultant,	author,	and	lecturer

We’re	 starting	 with	 our	 own	 carbon	 footprint.	 Not	 nothing.	 But	 much	 of	 what
we’re	 doing	 is	 already,	 or	 soon	 will	 be,	 little	 more	 than	 the	 standard	 way	 of
doing	business.	We	can	do	something	that’s	unique,	different	from	just	any	other
company.	 We	 can	 set	 an	 example,	 and	 we	 can	 reach	 our	 audiences.	 Our
audience’s	 carbon	 footprint	 is	 10,000	 times	 bigger	 than	 ours.	 That’s	 the	 carbon
footprint	we	want	to	conquer.

         —Rupert	Murdoch,	media	mogul
