Key Quotes:
“We all have to look around. What does our footprint look like today, on an individual basis? How can we change things and these things can be as simple as, you know, recycling properly, and, you know, riding your bike when you, you know, you instead of taking your car using public transportation, if it’s available, those sorts of things.” – Ian Clifford
“It’s [environmentalism] making the companies that we work for accountable, you know, so ensuring that there’s an environmental program within the company that you’re engaged in on a daily basis, the people that you buy things from, it’s important to understand where they come from. There has to be accountability. And that’s a big part of it.” – Ian Clifford
“Agriculture, sadly, you know, it feeds all of us, but it’s also a huge polluter globally. And that’s got to change.” – Ian Clifford
