- Change theme
Quotes by Peter Singer
- We have a new generation of very rich people who want to do more with their money than buy a lot of expensive toys. They want to live meaningful lives.
- We need to recognise that what really matters isn't buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment.

- When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours.

They also have sanitation and safe drinking water.
