And please don't get me wrong. I live by far greener than most (don't own a car, live in a zero energy bio-based home, am into regenerative farming, etc) all the more reason I care we get it right.

Many of the best and brightest philosophers, thinkers and scientists in the world, ancient and current, warn us about this. Only the foolish don't listen, which unfortunately are very many.
