We Want To Believe That We Can

Every Time I Slip Into The Ocean, It's Like Going Home.

The Image Of Earth From Space Transformed Our View Of Ourselves. It Is Maybe The Most Important Image That Exists - Because We Can See Ourselves In Context In A Way That Otherwise Would Be Really Hard To Explain. It Should Inspire Us To Wonder About It, To Want To Know Everything We Can About It And Do Everything We Can To Take Care Of It.

We've Got To Somehow Stabilize Our Connection To Nature So That In 50 Years From Now, 500 Years, 5,000 Years From Now There Will Still Be A Wild System And Respect For What It Takes To Sustain Us.

We Have Become Frighteningly Effective At Altering Nature.

This Is A Living Planet. Look Around. Mars, Venus, Jupiter. Look Beyond Our Solar System. Where Else Is There A Place That Works, That Is Just Right For The Likes Of Us? It Has Not Happened Just Instantly. It Is Vulnerable To Our Actions. But It's The Result Of Four And A Half Billion Years Of Evolution, Of Change Over Time. And It Changes Every Day, All The Time. It Would Be In Our Interest To Try To Maintain A Certain Level Of Stability That Has Enabled Us To Prosper, To Not Wreck The Very Systems That Give Us Life.
