Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it's a challenge to the moral imagination.

We won't have a society if we destroy the environment.

The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.

The environment is everything that isn't me.
