David Foreman
Founder of Earth First! and the Sierra Club, and promoter of the Wildlands Project.

Other quotes by David Foreman.


“If you haven’t given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species. . . . Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.”
