Finding out that 1 million species face extinction without radical corrective changes in human behavior is akin to finding out you have a fatal disease. One day you have a thousand problems; the next, you have just one. Nothing in today’s headlines compares to the catastrophic potential posed by climate change and the decimating effects of careless consumerism around the globe.
It’s time to change our habits and, pending a better cliche, save the planet. It’s dying, and we’ll die with it, eventually. But, Watson also said, it’s not too late to repair and sustain nature — if we act now in transformative ways. It won’t be enough for us to recycle our Dasani bottles or tote our own shopping bags, though these are helpful and keep us mindful. But big companies have to sign on, and governments have to create incentives and policies to advance sweeping change. Needless to say, this won’t be easy.
