Doing a Google search for Jimmy Carter and "planet together", I found 
a .pdf document put together by this site 
http://www.climateactionproject.com/.  The .pdf document link is 
http://www.climateactionproject.com/docs/presidential_quotes.pdf

This .pdf includes the text of a televised speech Carter gave on 
April 18, 1977 about the energy crisis, but does not include any of 
the phrases you cite below.  I thought, perhaps, that the date might 
be helpful for your search.

There is a speech by Bill Clinton included in this .pdf that contains 
the phrase "we all share this planet together", given in 2004.

Hope this is helpful,

Patty
