• 00:02:35 The most important thing is conversation 

The larger point is that what we need to do is we need to speak openly and honestly about things and if we don’t those problems – the earth doesn’t give a shit about you or me – those problems are gonna solve themselves. So those problems – it might not be the solution that we want.

The root of this whole thing is conversation its discourse its dialogue, it’s listening, it’s understanding.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an ecological problem or any other problem that’s the first place that we have to start.

The most important thing is conversation, listening and having an ability to know how to have those conversations.
