Emerging at the other end, we will not be the same as we were; we will have become more humble, more connected to the natural world, fitter, leaner, more skilled and, ultimately, wiser.

The idea of the solitary hero can be quite an unhealthy one, and we need to pool our efforts and be heroic together!

By loving and leaving all that oil has done for us ... we are able to then begin the creation of a world which is more resilient, more nourishing, and in which we find ourselves fitter, more skilled and more connected to each other.

In many ways, the idea of resilience is a more useful concept than the idea of sustainability.
