Our global industrial and energy systems are built on carbon-based
technologies and unsustainable resource demands that threaten to
destroy our society and our planet.

Massive loss of wealth, expanding poverty and suffering, disastrous
climate change, water scarcity, and deforestation are the end results
of this broken system.

This business-as-usual system represents the greatest threat to the
security and prosperity of humanity � a threat that transcends race,
ethnicity, national borders, and ideology.


Systems do not change themselves � the same stale, business-as-usual
thinking that has driven us to our current state of emergency will
continue to endanger our safety, our livelihoods, and our planet.

We need new thinking, new leadership, and innovation to create a
post-carbon economy.

Our goal is not to undo industry, but to remake it into a force for
sustainable wealth generation.

Governments and traditional non-profits do vital work, and their
efforts to change global opinion and policy is essential in this
fight.

However, awareness and policy reform are not enough.

It is time to reinvent our economic systems � It is time to act � It
is time to implement solutions.

We can no longer afford to be intimidated by the scope and magnitude
of the climate crisis.

It is essential that our most talented and driven individuals come
together to win this war.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Life has persisted on this planet
for billions of years. Take a chill pill and find a new hobby.

So . . . , what's your solution? Let me guess. Hmmm. Does it have
anything to do with us giving you more money?

Yes? That's what a thought.

Count me out. I'll wait for the next planetary emergency.

Speak for yourself. Maybe you can't afford it. I'm thinking more
along the line that we can't afford you.
