Set the basketball on the kitchen table. Open a cupboard, get out a bottle of sesame seeds, and place a single seed beside the basketball. If you were to reduce the Earth to the size of a basketball, all the fresh surface water on the planet - all those rivers and lakes and ponds and streams - would fit inside that one tiny sesame seed. Add a second sesame seed; now you have all the usable underground water as well. Is fresh water a scarce resource?

वातावरण में वापस कार्बन को पहुँचाने के उपाय ढूँढना जैव विविधता को बढ़ाता है। ज़्यादा जैव विविधता वाले पारिस्थितिक तंत्र (इकोसिस्टम) कार्बन को ज़्यादा सुरक्षित तरीके से और अधिक मात्रा में सोखते हैं और जलवायु परिवर्तन के प्रभावों का ज़्यादा बेहतर ढंग से मुकाबला कर सकते हैं।

Finding mechanisms for putting carbon back into landscapes enhances biodiversity. More biodiverse ecosystems store more carbon, more securely and are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

यदि रोमांच का कोई अंतिम और सर्वव्यापी उद्देश्य है, तो वह निश्चित रूप से यह है: हम बाहर निकलते हैं क्योंकि बाहर निकलना हमारा स्वभाव है, पहाड़ चढ़ना और नदियाँ पार करना, ग्रहों की ओर उड़ना और महासागरों की गहराइयों में उतरना... जब इंसान ये सब करना बंद कर देता है, तो वह इंसान नहीं रहता।

If adventure has a final and all-embracing motive, it is surely this: we go out because it is our nature to go out, to climb mountains, and to paddle rivers, to fly to the planets and plunge into the depths of the oceans... When man ceases to do these things, he is no longer man.

मैं सतहों (सरफेस) के महत्व पर ज़ोर देकर अपनी बात शुरू करना चाहूँगा। हमारी कई सबसे दिलचस्प और उपयोगी घटनाएँ सतहों पर ही घटित होती हैं। उदाहरण के लिए, हम एक ग्रह की सतह पर रहते हैं। रासायनिक प्रतिक्रियाओं का उत्प्रेरण (कैटलिसिस) भी सतह पर ही होता है। पौधों द्वारा सूरज की रोशनी को चीनी में बदलने की प्रक्रिया मूल रूप से उनकी सतह पर ही होती है। इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स में, ज़्यादातर नहीं तो लगभग सभी सक्रिय सर्किट तत्व सतहों पर होने वाली गैर-संतुलन घटनाओं से जुड़े होते हैं। जीव विज्ञान का एक बड़ा हिस्सा भी सतह पर होने वाली प्रतिक्रियाओं से संबंधित है।

I would like to start by emphasizing the importance of surfaces. It is at a surface where many of our most interesting and useful phenomena occur. We live for example on the surface of a planet. It is at a surface where the catalysis of chemical reactions occur. It is essentially at a surface of a plant that sunlight is converted to a sugar. In electronics, most if not all active circuit elements involve non-equilibrium phenomena occurring at surfaces. Much of biology is concerned with reactions at a surface.

मुझे देश भर में सड़क मार्ग से यात्रा करना बहुत पसंद था। और मुझे यह कला इसलिए भी चुनौतीपूर्ण लगी क्योंकि यह गैलरी में रखे महज ख्यालातों, फोटोग्राफ्स या ऐसी ही अन्य चीजों तक सीमित न होकर, सीधे धरती पर मौजूद थी। असली कला तो जमीन पर रची गई थी।

I enjoyed cross-country road trips. And I found the work challenging because it was art that existed on the land rather than mere concepts in a gallery or photographic documentation, or any of the paraphernalia that can be used to indicate that. The art was on the land.

कला बेचने के लिए नहीं थी। असल में, एक बार हमें 'डबल नेगेटिव' पर एक प्रस्ताव मिला था। चीज़ें वास्तव में बिक सकती थीं—सब कुछ बिकने के लिए हो सकता था। लेकिन हमारे पास खरीदार बहुत कम थे। मुझे लगता है कि यह माइकल हेज़र थे जिन्होंने कहा था कि इसका मतलब एक बड़ा कैनवास पाना है, और मैंने इस मुहावरे का काफी इस्तेमाल किया है। लेकिन आज मैं सोच रहा था कि एक कैनवास की सीमाएँ होती हैं; उसकी एक हद होती है। और अर्थवर्क के लिए, उसका खुलापन और यह अहसास ही सबसे रोमांचक था कि उसकी कोई सीमा नहीं है।

Art wasn't for selling. Actually, we once did have an offer on Double Negative. Things could be sold actually - everything could be for sale. But we had very few buyers. I think it was Michael Heizer who said that the point was to have a bigger canvas, and I've used that expression quite a bit. But I was thinking today that a canvas has boundaries; it has limit to it. And for earthwork, it was the very openness and feeling that there were no boundaries that made it so exciting.

हम प्रकृति से खुद को इतना अधिक अलग कर लेते हैं और उस पर अपनी हुकूमत साबित करने के लिए उसे अपनी सोच में बहुत छोटा मान लेते हैं, जिससे न केवल हममें सहानुभूति की भावना और प्रकृति को नैतिक नजरिए से देखने की क्षमता खत्म हो जाती है, बल्कि हमारे मन में अपने वजूद और अपनी जगह को लेकर एक झूठा और भ्रमित करने वाला अहंकार पैदा हो जाता है। प्रकृति को नैतिकता के दायरे में न देख पाने की यह कमजोरी ऐसे तथाकथित 'शुद्ध रूप से व्यावसायिक' रिश्तों को बढ़ावा देती है जो हमारी समझ को बिगाड़ देते हैं, हमारे आपसी रिश्तों को खोखला कर देते हैं और हमें एक-दूसरे पर हमारी निर्भरता के प्रति असंवेदनशील बना देते हैं।

To the extent that we hyper-separate ourselves from nature and reduce it conceptually in order to justify domination, we not only lose the ability to empathise and to see the non-human sphere in ethical terms, but also get a false sense of our own character and location that includes an illusory sense of autonomy.
