Reorienting Environmentalism

Kudos to you, sir. I like your boldness. I'm a student of Natural Resources, Environmental Science. This will be an uphill climb no doubt, but what is necessary, if we are to escape lifeboat ethics from kicking in, are thinkers like you, sir.

It's good to see glimmers of hope among the fatalism.
