I was just given a quote from a statement Thich Nhat Hanh wrote in 2015, shortly before the Paris Climate Summit:

“Many of us have become alienated from the Earth. We are lost, isolated and lonely. We work too hard, our lives are too busy, and we are restless and distracted, losing ourselves in consumption.”

Side note; I wrote a song about the (utter lack of) results of the Paris Accords:

"Earth is not something separate and outside of us. We are Earth and Earth is us. To lessen the suffering of myself is to lessen the suffering of Earth."

"Figueres, the architect of the 2015 Paris climate agreement, has been helping people around the world understand the teachings of Buddhist monk and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh."
