Steve Irwin on consumerism and money.

“What good is a fast car, a flashy house, and a gold-plated dunny to me? Absolutely no good at all. I've been put on this planet to protect wildlife and wilderness areas, which in essence is gonna help humanity. I wanna have the purest oceans. I wanna be able to drink water straight out of that creek. I wanna stop the ozone layer. I wanna save the world. And you know money? Money is great. I can't get enough money. And you know what I'm gonna do with it? I'm gonna buy wilderness areas with it. Every single cent I get goes straight into conservation. And guess what Charles, I don't give a rip whose money it is mate. I'll use it, and I'll spend it on buying land.” —Stephen Robert Irwin, 1962 – 2006.

Rest in peace.

The way his wife looks at him with such love & admiration is the exact reason why she has said she will never love again. RIP legend 👑

[dustinsanchezmusic]

That man was so passionate about nature. The way his wife looks at him is priceless. RIP Steve and God Bless his family

[Wherethehellarewegoing]

The world is less without this man in it!

[whodatking]

He wasn't a clout chaser, he just did what he thought was right and built an empire off good deeds. Legend RIP

[wafflingmean]

Honestly we've needed him in these last few years more than ever.

[NamelocTheBard]

Another reason why this guy was my childhood hero.

Realistic, idealistic, confident, and humble all at the exact same time. It's unfortunate that you rarely see that complete package in a person.

"I don't give a rip who's money it is mate"
A man who truly cared about what he had passion for. Naysayers be damned. We miss you Steve RIP

He talked a lot about buying lands and protecting the animals, but the best thing he left for us was the idea of preserving life and teaching the same to his siblings, who are carrying his dreams even after his death. True hero

[KavirajSingh]

What a legend, real winner. No comma, no pauses. Truly driven and feeling life. Success is having someone look at you like his wife is looking at him. This clip is a winner picture of human life.

Growing up I always thought Steve "acted" that way. Now as I am older I realize he was the real deal. God bless Steve!

It's 2023 and Steve is still touching souls.

[SuperHops]

This guy had a huge passion for nature and it sucks that he didn't get to do more things that he wanted to do. RIP Steve Irwin

[GuitarsRgood]

This is why people universally love him. He's so genuine, passionate, and pure.

[queenwinning]

She gazed at him with so much admiration and undying passion. I once had that same look for my sweetheart. My love has been deceased for years now. The world changes forever when you lose a true mate.

[brendanCominsky]

A true legend. A lot of people didn’t take him seriously when he was alive but realised how much an impact he made only when he wasn’t there anymore. I met him once at the zoo. He was funny and tough as nails.

[issac]

You can tell he meant every word, this is a type of genuineness you can't fake. The way his wife looking at her is how every man should experience, serve your purpose and have a loving partner by your side. R.i.p legend

[edyhekul]

I miss Steve. A fair chunk of my childhood was spent watching his documentaries and learning about wildlife. His enthusiasm was contagious.

[TheSuperStarBuck]

Steve was such a wonderful human being, real inspiration to us all. RIP

[Monkeyabroad]

Find you a woman who looks at you the way Steve's wife looks at him

[mrcupcake]

I often wish I knew how to start making a difference to the world like Steve. Living in Arizona I try my best to help provide for mostly stray animals, but it's never enough. My girlfriend said "we cant help every stray animal survive" and while she's not wrong, it hurts my heart.

Remember there is nothing wrong with saving a life! No matter how big or small!
