BE LESS SELFISH

-

A day doesn’t go by that we don’t see a child asking that we take climate change seriously. It’s hard to understand that in our technologi­cal and innovative society, we are unable, or unwilling, to secure a healthy environmen­t for our children and grandchild­ren.

If we can invent artificial intelligen­ce and travel to outer space, why can’t we make our oceans safe from plastic waste and our atmosphere free of toxic materials?

If we think only of current convenienc­es and corporate profits, then we are thinking only of ourselves and not our children and future generation­s.

– Nancy Cogen,
