Greta Thunberg:

"Since the rise of human civilization, we have cut down half of the trees in the world, wiped out more than two thirds of the wildlife, and filled the oceans with plastics, as well as initiating a potential mass extinction and a climate catastrophe. We have begun destabilizing the very life support systems we all depend on. We are, in other words, sawing off the branch we’re living on."

That's from page 18 of “The Climate Book” -- https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709837/the-climate-book-by-greta-thunberg/
