Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move millions of people. Since the very birth of human civilization, people have moved to settle close to it. People move when there is too little of it. People move when there is too much of it. People journey down it. People write, sing and dance about it. People fight over it. And all people, everywhere and every day, need it
Mikhail Gorbachev
The ecologization of politics requires us to acknowledge the priority of human values and makes ecology part of education at an early age, molding a new, modern approach to nature and, at the same time, giving back to man a sense of being part of nature. No moral improvement of society is possible without that
Mikhail Gorbachev
Without glasnost there is not, and there cannot be, democratism, the political creativity of the masses and their participation in management.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We need a new environmental consciousness on a global basis. To do this, we need to educate people.
Mikhail Gorbachev
The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.
Mikhail Gorbachev
We must treat water as if it were the most precious thing in the world, the most valuable natural resource. Be economical with water! Don't waste it! We still have time to do something about this problem before it is too late
Mikhail Gorbachev
