The problem is, none of this will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change.

This book chronicles the creation of Everglades National Park, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. Prior to the park's creation, the Everglades was seen as a reviled and useless swamp, unfit for typical recreational or development projects.

Using these ideas, the Everglades began to be recognized as an ecologically valuable and fragile wetland.

Lawrence Bossidy once said that nothing we do is a higher priority than recruiting and creating individuals. Toward the day's end, you bet on individuals, not on methodologies.
