What I have been trying to remind people of for the past 40 years is that you can’t operate an entire conventional system, whether it’s economics, business or the way we live and surround ourselves, what we eat, without recognizing that there are severe negative externalities that are not being accounted for.

We have spent the best part of the past century enthusiastically testing the world to utter destruction not looking closely enough at the long-term impact our actions will have.
