Many organic practices simply make sense, regardless of what overall agricultural system is used. Far from being a quaint throwback to an earlier time, organic agriculture is proving to be a serious contender in modern farming and a more environmentally sustainable system over the long term. -David Suzuki ------ We can’t impede progress in the name of environmental action that yields little for the environment and even less for our people.. and we should look at the environment as an economic opportunity. -Meg Whitman ------ Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles. -David Suzuki

"RainTrust is essential to preserving the Amazon Rainforest. It is providing a direct and realistic approach to maintaining the integrity and biodiversity of one of the most important resources for life on the planet. As ecological degradation disturbs the overall health of the planet - the RainTrust program offers a way to save the lungs or breathing capacity necessary for life to continue as we know it. This is a vital program at a critical time in human evolution that warrants the support of the entire human family."

"We applaud RainTrust for its innovative approach to the conservation and preservation of the Brazilian rainforest. Over the past 20 years, ProNatura has been assisting indigenous and traditional peoples worldwide and we have come to realize that building capacity and sustainable development is the highest priority for halting the systematic deforestation of the rainforest. We look forward to working closely with RainTrust's sustainable development programs for the benefit of the Brazilian rainforest people and for all threatened by our fragile environment."
