“We’ve pushed the buttons too far. We’ve been greedy and selfish. Everybody knows what we’ve done to the rivers and the oceans; the fact that there’s only 35 years’ worth of fish in the oceans; the fact that the polar ice caps are melting. I think that right under the surface of everybody’s consciousness is the full understanding that we’re in for a really tough ride and everybody is really afraid to face it. The attitude is: ‘Let me amass my pile and we’ll worry about that 10 or 20 years from now.'” — Little Miss Sunshine costar and presumptive Oscar nominee Alan Arkin speaking to Time magazine. (A Time magazine “Numbers of the Year” report actually says the oceans will be fished out within 50 years, so we can all relax — an extra 15 years to sort things out. Pass the shrimp!)
