I believe in a future where humanity co-exists with the environment. This would include the simultaneous respect of cultural as well as environmental values as a collective society to achieve a sort of equilibrium between humanity and nature (although humanity and nature should be seen as two parts of a collective whole rather than the "us vs. them" narrative we have today). The incentive to move towards co-existence would have to include some sort of economic element, finding ways to profit off of conservation, and an environment-first approach. Off the top of my head, this might be some sort of environment credit system or something of that nature. Finally, the law and systems of power would have to recognize the importance of cultural/traditional/local knowledge when it comes to designing environmental policy and protections and such. #UnleashValues

Hey Tyson!
I love your incentive suggestion! Incentives can be an effective means of producing long-term behavioural changes. Criticizing someone for unsustainable behaviours can only go so far. If we want to effectuate widespread climate action, we will need to make it easier for people to make the "right choice". If we want to make it easier, we will need to produce cheaper, faster, longer-lasting, yet more sustainable, alternatives.
