Check out all of Lawrence's quotes direct from the Dump:

If I was Prime Minister, I would bring in population control
Lawrence on the government

I'm very enthusiastic about recycling, everyone can do it and there shouldn't be an excuse for those that don't.
Lawrence on the government

The state of the world today is not looking good, changes need to be made, resources will run out so we have to change our lives.
Lawrence on the state of the world today

Nervous... no I'm excited. Really excited.
Lawrence on how he feels about the forthcoming eco-challenge

It feels a bit overwhelming... you're put into a very uncomfortable environment... it takes it out of you.
Lawrence on arriving at the Dump

It's one of those horrible places to wake up to, isn't it. It's not really very homely. And even after cleaning yourself you feel dirty.
Lawrence on life on the Dump

I did find it quite unusual that he didn't learn anything.
Lawrence on Darren leaving the Dump

I think people are going to get really scared when they are forced to do my regime, now I am in control of this task I feel I am getting somewhere.
Lawrence on taking charge

I'm an amateur toilet enthusiast. I'm enthusiastic about building the toilets, I'm just an amateur. I don't know what's going to happen really.
Lawrence on toilets

You've got to take perfect aim because you've got to get it in the bucket below. You see the bucket there?
Lawrence on how to use the compost loo

The only reason I am sticking it out is cos I want to prove to myself that I can do it.
Lawrence on staying on Dumped

I just find that some people are in neutral. We get them to the top of the hill, we push them off the top and as soon as they get to the bottom of the hill, they just stop and they don’t get back on the hill.
Lawrence on how some of the volunteers are coping with Dump life

It’s dirty, it’s wet, it’s just unhygienic. We can’t keep anything clean anymore. Clothes just appear dirty, the place where we wash our pots in is dirty. Had a shower this morning and as soon as I got out I felt dirty.
Lawrence just can't get clean

The update is that it’s raining. It’s raining hard. And there’s lightning. It’s not nice weather to be standing out there!
Lawrence on the weather

Instead of looking out on the piles of rubbish, we’ve made it look nice I’m proud of what we’ve done here!
Lawrence is proud of the shelter

So I’ve only got 2.5 tonnes of C02 that I’ve actually been able to sort out so if I take away 2.5. I’ll still have 5 tonnes of emissions that I can’t actually control.
Lawrence on his carbon footprint

I shall be petitioning the government to try and reduce that because don’t think its fair that I am suddenly automatically given five tonnes for just existing in this country. I see it as quite important now to round the troops and try and change things instead of sitting back and saying its not really that interesting.
Lawrence on what he's going to do about his carbon footprint
