“I could cut my leg off. I could cut my arm off. I could gouge an eye out. I'd still probably survive. But not very well. And that's what we're doing to the oceans. It's the life-support system of this planet. We've been dumping in it. We've been polluting it. We've been destroying it for decades. And we're essentially maiming ourselves.”
-- Philippe Cousteau, Jr. -
“I'll never be able to fill my father's or grandfather's shoes, but hopefully I can stand on their shoulders and reach farther.”
-- Philippe Cousteau, Jr. -

-- Philippe Cousteau, Jr. -

“I've seen young people raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix a problem in their community. I've seen young people raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to dig wells in Africa. I've seen young people pass laws, largely impacting their communities. They do have the power to change the world.”
-- Philippe Cousteau, Jr. -
“The great news is that overwhelmingly far more than adults, youth already care about the environment. Young people are recognizing that we have largely made a mess of things with respect to the environment [and] that the burden to fix it will fall on them.”
-- Philippe Cousteau, Jr. -
“I've seen a lot of doom and gloom and depressing things, and it's [the] youth that give me hope.”
