Scott Menville: Ma-Ti

Quotes 

• Ma-Ti : What is happening to this place?

  Kwame : What always happens when people are not careful what they wish for.

• Ma-Ti : I *knew* this greed-machine had to be yours!

  Zarm : Yes. Greed makes people want more and more pweor - power over the Earth, power over each other, and greed is what I thrive on.

• [last lines] 

  Kwame : [hefting the chair Wheeler gave the TV and video-camera to the villagers from]  And what do we do with this?

  Kwame , Wheeler , Ma-Ti : Recycle it!

• Kwame : [Planeteer Alert]  Remember that things you buy are not made out of thin air. For instance, this baseball bat...

  Linka : ...And these magazines...

  Kwame : ...Are made from trees.

  Gi : Plastic toys and plastic packages like these...

  Ma-Ti : ...Are made from oil. That means drilling.

  Wheeler : Even a hamburger has a hidden cost: the thousands of acres of land that are used to raise cattle.

  Gaia : So think before you buy. The money you pay is only part of what something really costs.

  Captain Planet : The power is yours!
