Spring is here. The flowers are in bloom, the chill is gone from the air and everywhere we look we can see little signs of new life in nature. On April 22nd more than a million people all over the world will participate in the 42nd Earth Day. It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing something huge for our planet or something small, such as using renewable and compostable products, every little bit counts towards a cleaner environment and a greener Earth.

In 1969 there was a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. This disastrous event caused Wisconsin U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson to begin “national teach-in on the environment.” In celebration of Earth Day 2012, here are some famous Earth Day quotes.

  • “All of the flowers of tomorrow are seeds of today.” – Chinese Proverb
  • “Nature is a painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.” – John Ruskin
  • “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtfully committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
  • “There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.” - Robert Orben
  • “Only when the last tree has died, and the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” - Cree Indian Proverb
  • “There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew.” - Marshall McLuhan
