I see a world in the future in which we understand that all life is related to us and we treat that life with great humility and respect. I see us as well as social creatures, and when I began to look back and say, ‘what is the fundamental bottom line for us as social creatures?’I couldn’t believe it because it seemed so hippy dippy, but it was Love. Love is the force that makes us fully human.

But human borders mean nothing to air, water, windblown soil or seeds or migrating fish, birds or mammals.

Each of us now has 2.27 kg (5 lbs) of plastic embedded in our bodies.

Ultimately we need to recognize that while humans continue to build urban landscapes, we share these spaces with others species.

Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die.

Salmon farming-the placement of large metal or mesh net cages in the ocean to grow fish-was pioneered in Norway in the 1960s. Since then, the industry has expanded to Scotland, Ireland, Canada, the US, and Chile, but is dominated by the same multinational corporations. Wherever it is practiced, net-cage salmon farming is controversial and raises serious environmental concerns.

My earliest memory from childhood is of fishing with my father. And I remember vividly we were in a store, and we were buying a pup tent to go on our first camping trip.
