I used to think the top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystems collapse and climate change. I thought that with 30 years of good science we could address those problems. But I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy…and to deal with those we need a spiritual and cultural transformation.
There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot… like winds and sunset, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them.
