We live in the most destructive culture in history. At a time when CO2 emissions are threatening all life on earth, 90% of large fish in the ocean are gone, and over 100 species go extinct every day, the destruction wrought by human civilization is actually accelerating rather than decreasing, and that is absolutely insane. Public outcry, petitions, and even laws have proven themselves totally useless at stopping or even slowing this onslaught. Corporate greenwash is just as useless. In fact, it’s insidious, because it allows some to believe a solution will magically appear from above.
