Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.
People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.

I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents. Primarily because of the activism and the injection of working at the Carter Center, and in international affairs, and to some degree, domestic affairs, on energy conservation, on environment, and things of that kind.
