\u201cLet us assume that we have ten years left to finally confront the world as it has become, namely less and less favorable to our lives, and to those of other living beings. Ten years for a very tight political turn. Ten years to get rid of our productivist and consumerist whims. Ten years to learn to regenerate a nature in the process of accelerated destruction. Ten years to tighten our inequalities, while giving meaning to our lives. Ten years, finally, to start building a new civilization.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
