We have to put the health of the Earth absolutely first. It will mean listening with humility to what the animals and plants and trees and insects need to thrive. It will mean putting their needs first, for they were here first; they prepared the Earth to be friendly to human evolution. Our lives depend on their lives, our health on their health. It will mean loving the Earth, the body of us all. Transforming the law to value ownership less, and health and life more.
