The climate crisis is not a science problem. It is a human problem. The ultimate power to change the world does not reside in technologies. It relies on reverence, respect, and compassion—for ourselves, all people, all life. This is regeneration. -- Paul Hawken, author of Regeneration: Ending the climate crisis in one generation
