What price do you put on a species?

We are losing 150-200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal every 24 hours.

That’s an estimated 1,000 times the natural rate.

We fucked up real bad, and the fact that there’s 7 billion of us now and we’ve got iPhones doesn’t change that a shred.

we Will pay for this destruction, in unforeseen, invisible, and difficult to imagine ways.

We could have done better, and ignoring that blocks our path to a better way.
