The narrative must be changed. Climate change, although it has created a more recent sense of urgency to save our planet and our way of life, has become too political and the science can be easily challenged which paralyzes governments and big business. What is difficult to argue is the objective truth that we can be better stewards of our planet. Governments and big business must take a holistic approach and chip away on all environmental issues with more focus and earnest so that it becomes second nature for all that we can and must to do better by the planet. The mantra needs to be clean the air, water and land for the benefit of all species. It’s long overdue that we realized climate change is a pill not everyone will agree to swallow. Take smaller steps and and join forces with the media to regain the public’s enthusiasm about doing the right thing. It’s good business if the world’s economies take better, bigger, bolder steps together. Global consumerism and greed can still exist but we need to all agree to slow down and start taking better care of our planet. The necessary changes to become better stewards of our world may not be more profitable or creates more shareholder value in the short-term but it will certainly make the planet more livable for the long term. Climate change is to broad a term for people to universally get behind. Make the focus about cleaning up one piece at a time as part of a unified global agenda to clean up the planet and save ourselves from ourselves before the damage becomes to great.
