Humankind has gotten very good at producing and consuming things for which it typically has not given adequate thought about cleaning up after.

All human activity today, even those associated with carbon capture and recycling, will bring about significant consequences for future generations.

Movement is life. Mindful action will require as much time and energy as are currently being channeled towards debate and expression. Patience is both the only antidote against complacency and the only fuel for the curiosity and imagination necessary to keep pace with what remains to be discovered.
