Alex Steffen Quote
Climate change is not a discrete issue; it's a symptom of larger problems. Fundamentally, our society as currently designed has no future. We're chewing up the planet so fast, in so many different ways, that we could solve the climate problem tomorrow and still find that environmental collapse is imminent.

The fact that we haven't compellingly imagined a thriving, dynamic, sustainable world is a major reason we don't already live in one."
