I'm not an environmentalist.
                  Still I love nature.
                  Nature made me love science.
                  That's how I became an organic chemist.
                  I just wanted to know how nature works.
                  I know I'll never get it all, but learning about natures
                    ways is my greatest privilege.
                  As a scientist I've learned to recognize that faith is not
                    only inferior to certainty, but that it may also lead to
                    horrendous mistakes.
                  I love nature to much to risk it all on faith.
                  I'm not an environmentalist.
                  I'm just part of nature.
