“While the Environmental Genome Project does not seek to assign allele frequencies, we are aware of the importance of accurate allele frequency estimates for future epidemiologic studies and the large sample sizes such estimates will require.”
– Samuel Wilson
“At Current, television is all we do – that’s our business. We don’t have amusement parks I have to worry about, we don’t have environmental cases against us, we don’t have a series of outdoor-advertising companies.”
– Keith Olbermann
“Well, for starters, we have to do more to create demand for new technologies that can reduce our dependence on foreign oil and environmental degradation.”
– Sherwood Boehlert
“It is important to consider whether the sample size selected by the Environmental Genome Project will provide sufficient power to discover most alleles relevant to gene-environment interactions.”
– Samuel Wilson
“Let me start by emphasizing that I am open to efforts to expedite environmental procedures for true emergencies or in other clear cases where current laws are needlessly burdensome.”
– Sherwood Boehlert
“One of the responsibilities faced by the Environmental Genome Project is to provide the science base upon which society can make better informed risk management decisions.”
– Samuel Wilson
“The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.”
– Samuel Wilson
“Moreover, environmental health at the local level has become narrowly focused, very much defined around regulations and the attendant regulatory debates.”
– Samuel Wilson
“Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.”
– Dennis Weaver
“Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.”
– Bill Nye
“I align myself with almost all researchers in assuming that anything we do is a composite of whatever genetic limitations were given to us by our parents and whatever kinds of environmental opportunities are available.”
– Howard Gardner
“We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel for any environmental organization to claim sole responsibility for any kind of victory is insane, because everybody attacks these problems as a group.”
– Ted Danson
“The environmental movement, like all political processes, reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow, very gradual disasters in the making.”
– Ted Danson
“Cities all over the world are getting bigger as more and more people move from rural to urban sites, but that has created enormous problems with respect to environmental pollution and the general quality of life.”
– Alan Dundes
“A variety of factors contribute to the price of gasoline in the United States. These factors include worldwide supply, demand and competition for crude oil, taxes, regional differences in access to gasoline supplies and environmental regulations.”
– Gary Miller
“Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren’t really that important in the long term.”
– Ted Danson
“But reducing harmful emissions, abating our dependence on foreign oil and developing alternative renewable energy sources have benefits that go beyond environmental health, they improve personal health, enhance national security and encourage our nation’s economic viability.”
– Jim Clyburn
“All living beings, not just animals, but plants and microorganisms, perceive. To survive, an organic being must perceive – it must seek, or at least recognize, food and avoid environmental danger.”
– Lynn Margulis
“We have a project with Unocal here in Los Angeles, where we as an environmental organization, the oil company, and the state all get together to promote the recycling of used motor oil.”
– Ted Danson
“Fracking is doable if there’s full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there’s collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.”
– Bill Richardson
“Despite Arizona’s remarkable growth in recent years, we have met the current federal health standards for ozone pollution and the Environmental Protection Agency recently approved our dust control plan.”
– Jane D. Hull
“I’ve always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I’m willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place, we’ll have to-in order to increase another place, I’m willing to do that.”
– Judd Gregg
“I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn’t pose a serious environmental issue.”
– John Hickenlooper
“During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.”
– Michael Franti
“There’s no longer any surprise in noting that China has grave environmental problems.”
– James Fallows
“Environmental disaster is the gravest threat to China’s continued development. That’s according to me, but it is not some wacko view.”
