Canadian Environmentalist David Suzuki on Democracy Now! From Rio+20 U.N Summit

“If we don’t see that we are utterly embedded in the natural world and dependent on Mother Nature for our very well-being and survival then our priorities will continue to be driven by man-made constructs like national borders, economies, corporations, markets. Those are all human created things. They shouldn’t dominate the way we live - it should be the biosphere. And the leaders in that should be indigenous people who still have that sense that the earth is truly our mother, that it gives birth to us. You don’t treat your mother the way we treat the planet or the biosphere today.”
