Whatever we'll be forced to do later, we should be doing now.
We should be able to support our own economy within our own borders.
We're the only species that have crapped up the planet and the only species that can clean it up.
The premise is simple: One economy and one environment, and they're interdependent.
There can be no lasting peace, no security, nor can we as human beings begin to touch our full potential, as long as hunger overwhelms the human spirit around this planet.
We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.
