In countries that are already very rich, we especially need to figure out if there are feasible alternatives to our hidebound commitment to economic growth, because it is becoming increasingly clear that endless material growth is incompatible with the long-term viability of the Earth’s environment. To do this we have to transcend the evolutionary advantages that focusing on the local and short-term gave our ancestors. … But it won’t do for us. We have to take the long view and think and act in terms of one planet.
