Imagine today is the past and an ecological future is our children’s reality.  

Imagine them living and caring for the planet as much as we have lived and cared for our economy.  

Today, there’s economic rules made by man, which we live by; and, biological rules ‘made’ by Nature, which we ignore. 

Whereas today’s priority is the economy, tomorrow’s priority is the ecology. 

Whereas today’s economy kills wildlife, habitat and the climate, tomorrow’s ecology curates the economy. 

Whereas today’s economy is visited upon the planet, tomorrow’s ecology values human contribution because we live *with* the planet.  

Today, we walk upon the Earth like a drug-crazed, rock band wrecking their hotel suite. Our drug is money. Our rehabilitation is beginning.  

Their tomorrow depends on what we do now. 

I’ve been working with 17 Thought Leaders on our new book, “What the Hell Do We Do Now?” launching on Thursday, 8 October on Amazon.  

 My chapter “Imagine” envisions an inversion of our priorities between an economy-led and ecology-led recovery. 

I open this conversation in a webinar on Thursday, 8 October at 10:30am (AESST). Please register here: www.DrRichardHodge.com/webcast and you’ll also receive a link to the recording (if you can’t make it on the day). 

The future is now.
