Education, the free flow of information, is key for our personal and societal growth. It all comes back to education.

Without information, there can be no real understanding of the ramifications of our choices.

It's incredibly disturbing to me that humans are disrupting pretty much every single living system on the planet.

We need to invest in clean energy technologies. We need to rush them to market while rebuilding our energy networks intelligently. And it's imperative that we push toward a cultural shift away from energy waste to respectful conservation with fierce commitment that will carry us to the other side.

Money and stuff aren't what makes us happy. It's strong connections within families and friends, communities of people that truly care about one another.
