I see humanity at the mouth of a very, very long dark tunnel. And right at the end of that tunnel is a star. And that’s hope. But it's no good sitting at the end of the tunnel and hoping that star will come. No, we’ve got to roll up our sleeves, climb over, roll under and work around all the obstacles that lie between us and the star. Like climate change, loss of biodiversity, poverty where people destroy the environment to survive, overconsumption. We’ve got to work on all these things to reach the star. But good news: there’s people working on every single one of them.
