"Most people walking around in a mall or on a college campus are carrying on them better technology that the entire U.S. government had when it put a man on the moon.

"In 'Laudato Si', I call for a courageous and responsible effort to 'redirect our steps', and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental deterioration caused by human activity.

One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
Whatever country you come from
It is one"
