About this Quote
This quote by Julia Louis-Dreyfus highlights the importance of safeguarding our environment. Prior to the development of computers, telephone lines, and television, we were all linked by the same air, oceans, mountains, and rivers. This quote is a suggestion that we all share the exact same planet and are all equally accountable for taking care of it. We need to all work together to protect our environment and ensure that it is protected for future generations.

By taking these steps, we can ensure that our planet stays healthy and sustainable for generations to come.
