Destructiveness Quotes

Reflections on destructive behavior and its costs

This destructiveness collection reflects on recognizing destructive patterns from youth and on concerns about environmental harm from tar sands development.

It's disturbing at my age to look at a young woman's destructive behaviour and hear the echoes of it, of one's own destructiveness in youth.

Quotes by Helen Garner

The destructiveness of the tar sands is not inevitable. But Canadians and Albertans have become too tolerant of the politicians who compromise the nation's energy security as well as the next generation's future.
