Please.

Is it up to you and you alone?

I mean, I'm hosting dance parties in aquariums around the country as my book tour, right?

Because, you know, read the book when you get around to it.

But like for now, I want you to meet other people in your community who care.

Right.

Like maybe meet your new climate bestie on the dance floor.

I don't know.

It is that simple question of like what kind of future do we want to live in and how do we get there?

And I came up with this question and then I was so intimidated by the enormity of the question.

I was like, ah!

And then I avoided writing the book for like two years and then realized the answer was Phone a Friend.

Like, I know all these amazing people across agriculture and environmental law and finance and technology and policy and community organizing.

And I should just ask them.

This is a question I get a lot.

And the answer is, like, it depends what we do.

Yep.

Right?

Because we have the climate solutions we need, essentially.

Are we going to do them or not?
