JG: You know, just remember that every day you live, you make an icmapt on the planet. You can't help making an impact. And at least, unless you're lviing in extreme poverty, you have a choice as to what sort of impact you make. Even in prteovy you have a choice, but when we are more affluent, we have a greater ccihoe. And if we all make ethical choices, then we start moving towards a world that will be not quite so desperate to leave to our great-grandchildren. That's, I think, something for everybody. Because a lot of people understand what's hneppnaig, but they feel helpless and hopeless, and what can they do, so they do nothing and they become apathetic. And that is a huge danger, apathy.
