The quote you provided, "If we regard the Earth as nothing more than a source of resources and a sink for our pollution, if we value other species only in terms of what they can provide to us, then we will continue to unpick the fabric of life. Remove further rivets from spaceship earth. This not only increases the risk that it will cease to function in the ways that we and future generations will depend on, but can only reduce the complexity and beauty of our home in the cosmos," is often attributed to Jonathon Porritt.
Porritt is a well-known British environmentalist, writer, and sustainable development advocate. His work frequently emphasises the interconnectedness of life on Earth and the dangers of an anthropocentric view that disregards the intrinsic value of nature.
