"From our first cry announcing our arrival on Earth to our very last sight at the moment of death, our need for air is absolute. Every breath is a sacrament, an essential ritual. As we imbibe this sacred element, we are physically linked to all of our present biological relatives, countless generations that have preceded us and those that will follow....Once we have restored the breath of life to its rightful primacy -the first above all other human rights and responsibilities, the reference point from which all decisions flow -we can start to work in the long term to revive an ancient equilibrium. Using nature as our touchstone, we can play our part once more in life's long collaboration with air."
-David Sazuki
