For an entire hour I sat riveted to this new idea on changing and saving Planet Earth.
My $25 donation was well worth it.

Together,
we are writing the future of
our planet. In the same way
that we are living with the
deeds and decisions of the
past, the choices made and
actions taken by those of us
alive today will bear direct
impact on the generations who
come after we are gone. But
how we imagine our future and
tell those stories can serve
as a predictor of what is to
come. As prelude to the
first-ever Nobel Prize Summit
at the end of April, Nobel
Prize Laureate Martin Chalfie,
screenwriter Joe Robert Cole,
and novelist Kim Stanley
Robinson will examine the way
in which those stories have
the power to impact our vision
of the future.
Moderated by Shahzeen Attari,
who researches the factors
that motivate action on
climate change, this
wide-ranging and eclectic
conversation promises to be
hopeful, optimistic, and above
all, inspiring.
