6. What we know is that the environmental movement had a series of dazzling victories in the late '60s and in the '70s where the whole legal framework for responding to pollution and to protecting wildlife came into law.

At least three studies, in the U.S., Canada and Sweden, have linked glyphosate exposure to the disease, and in 2015, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer found glyphosate to be a 'probable' cause of cancer in humans.

23. The great challenge of the 21st century is to provide good standards of living for 7 billion people without depleting the earth's resources or running up massive levels of public debt. To achieve this, government and business alike will need to find new models of growth that are in both environmental and economic balance. - Paul Polman

33. Design our world so that we have positive social and environmental side effects. - Bjarke Ingels
34. Sustainability goes across everything I do with Adidas and everything I do with my own house, so the Olympic kit is no exception.

Never did get that one. - Paul Watson
