We're defined by our environment and our interaction with that environment by our ecology.

IV. Protecting our common environment

We are in an environment that limits our options.

Improvements in natural science enhance, rather than impede, our ability to shape our physical environment.

Our ancestors lived in a more dangerous but less risky environment.

Threats to our natural environment are therefore threats to our very existence.

For Palau, the environment is our economic future.

Sustaining our environment and natural resources base for development

Humans the animal are pretty lucky creatures because, by and large, we really don't have to adapt to our environment we adapt our environment to us.

Respect for the environment is also one of our concerns.

It is also our duty to ensure that humankind survives the destruction that threatens our environment.

This may not be extraordinary in old democratic communities but in our authoritarian environment, it was strikingly new.

It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment.

One side argues that rising human populations threaten our environment and prosperity.

We're so marinated in the culture of speed that we almost fail to notice the toll it takes on every aspect of our lives on our health, our diet, our work, our relationships, the environment and our community.

The publication, One Planet, Many People Atlas of Our Changing Environment was released on 3 June 2005 to mark World Environment Day.

All our efforts will be in vain if their results are reversed by continued degradation of the environment and depletion of our natural resources.

Cooking made it possible that mutations, natural selections, our environment, could develop us.

Compounding these challenges is our heavy dependence on the natural environment to support our tourism industry, the lifeblood of the economies of our nations.

So if we want to utilize self assembly in our physical environment, I think there's four key factors.

Of course, in our current fiscal environment, it will be hard to find additional resources from the budget.

Our Namibian colleague reminded us that meaningful development cannot take place in an environment of violence and insecurity.

But that, as I said, we live in this environment where all these obstacles are being put in our way.

We basically tried to create the most competitive environment for our lab as possible.

Others argue that our individual psychological makeup is at fault we depend on food as a means of manipulating our environment.

Our 70 trillion per year global economy is putting unprecedented pressures on the natural environment.

We have made many commitments to end oppression, radically reduce poverty and protect our environment.

If we live without sufficiently caring for our environment, we will find ourselves in a very perilous situation one day.

In this sense the environment may refer to the biophysical environment, the natural environment or the built environment.

So every item, every artifact that we make, will have embedded in it some little sliver of Web ness and connection, and it will be part of this machine, so that our environment kind of in that ubiquitous computing sense our environment becomes the Web. Everything is connected.

Although action for development must be largely local, it is critically dependent in our globalized world on the external economic environment.

Likewise, while the European project sought to bring about the harmony of people living together in peace, we also must live in harmony with our environment the scarcest of all of our resources.

But what is really cool is that we take our visual environment as inevitable. And it's not.

Developing countries have maintained that climate change and other unsustainable pressures on our environment demand urgent attention.

This double edged challenge posed by the reduction in our access to financial resources and the demands of trade liberalization has drastically transformed the environment within which our national development takes place.

But if we look on other parts of our bodies where we don't directly interact with the environment our kidneys, our livers, our hearts there is no way to say, by just looking at these organs, where in the world they would come from.

The human brain constructs a world inside our head based on what it samples from the surrounding environment.

Eliminating poverty and inequality and promoting sustainable development of the economy and the environment are our common goals.

Let's start this new revolution at the tail end of the old one, with synthetic biology being the way to transform both our environment and our future.

This is our protocell technology, effectively making a shell, like its limestone forefathers, and depositing it in a very complex environment, against natural materials.

Now how does the solar system and our environment, in the form of us acquire this special relationship with the rest of the universe?

Noting that an overall commitment to multiculturalism helps to provide an environment preventing and combating discrimination and promoting solidarity and tolerance in our societies,
