I just finished a nice reading on how we might motivate ourselves to think about a sustainable future. “The Good Ancestor” from Roman Krznaric is great in helping us to understand the urgent need to stop living in the tiranny of the now, and working toward long term thinking and intergenerational justice.
Roman has strong opinions on the need to represent the uture generations in our current decision making.
The challenge is now ours to include the future in our thinking and actions.
