Everything is now
Now is climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, societal inequity and political unrest. Now is rampant urbanisation, overpopulation, migration, aggressive misogyny, white supremacism, capitalist exploitation of the Earth and artificial intelligence takeover. Now is today and there is no future without now. We need to speed-up the official agendas. We as citizens must do more and faster. Now. Let’s accommodate the future by challenging the now. We are running out of time. Everything is now.
