In the rich world the environmental situation has improved dramatically. In the United States the most important environmental indicator particulate air pollution has been cut by more than half since 1955 rivers and coastal waters have dramatically improved and forests are increasing.

We have been learning since we were children how to make money buy things build things. The whole education system is set up to teach us how to think not to feel.

I also found that for myself since I've had no religious education it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.

In his first year in office President Obama pulled us back from the brink of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression and worked to lay a new foundation for economic growth. The president identified three key strategies to build that lasting prosperity: innovation investment and education.

Since my education I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

Jazz to me is a living music. It's a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings the dreams hopes of the people.

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom 3 years old every day 'I can fly!' Living on the ninth floor it was dangerous.

Ever since we were little we were so on fire for our dreams. We never let anyone blow our flames out.

But I have been interested in dreams really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind when you are asleep can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.

I have been following a vegan diet now since the 1980s and find it not only healthier but also much more attractive than the chunks of meat that were on my plate as a child.

When I was pregnant. I exercised and was healthy but it was also the first time since I was 14 that I wasn't on a diet.

The number of kids affected by obesity has tripled since 1980 and this can be traced in large part to lack of exercise and a healthy diet.

Since having the babies I realize that 90 percent of losing weight is my diet.

For so many years I felt so insecure so inferior and I still have those moments but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

I've wanted to design golf courses ever since I was a kid. I suppose it comes from the way I've played the game. To find the proper way to play any hole I've always begun by asking myself what the architect has tried to do with it.

Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.

Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

The cult of the individual is killing us. I think Twitter signals the death of western civilisation but people have been saying that since Demosthenes.

Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.

The study of consciousness that can extend beyond the body is extremely important for the issue of survival since it is this part of human personality that would be likely to survive death.
