This exceptional environmentalist, who has been warning us for decades about resource depletion and global warming, is now advising us on the critical role of cooperation that will be necessary for the human race to survive in the challenging decades ahead. This is a very profound and somewhat hopeful look at the ominous future.
...things will go a lot better for us if, rather than stocking up on guns and canned goods, we spend our time getting to know our neighbors, learning how to facilitate effective meetings, or helping design resilient local food systems. Survival will depend on finding cooperative paths in which sacrifice is shared, the best of our collective achievements are preserved, and compassion is nurtured.
