Suddenly, saving our planet is within reach. We’ve worked out all the problems. We’re working on all the solutions. Most of them we can do now and, over time, all of them help the economy. Our population growth is actually slowing down, and by the end of the century it will plateau. There’s never been a better opportunity to take control. The plan is obvious. Stop doing the damaging stuff. Roll out the new green tech and systems as they arrive; stabilize the human population as low as we fairly can. Keep hold of the natural wealth we have currently got, and in eighty years’ time, we’ll be past the worst of it. More than that, we’ll have built a world with eternal energy, clean air and water. A stable, healthy world that we can benefit from forever. So what’s stopping us? This opportunity is out of sight. Each of us is blinkered by the demands of Here and Now. Big picture. Long term. They’re not in our field of vision. That must change if we’re going to change. We now have the choice to create a planet that we can all be proud of. Our planet. The perfect of for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth. We have a plan. We know what to do. There is a path to sustainability. If enough people can see the path we may just start down it in time. – Sir David Attenborough
