Quantum Quote: \\u201cNever doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.\\u201d \\u2013 Margaret Mead

Did you know that humanity\\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution have already increased global temperatures by 1.2 degrees Celsius? And that 30% of our carbon emissions are absorbed by the oceans, causing ocean acidification that threatens the world\\u2019s food and oxygen supplies?

\\xa0

We are at a turning point. We can continue down the path of catastrophe - or choose to move to a carbon-free civilization that will create utopia.

\\xa0

Which direction do you want to go?

\\xa0

Listen to Will Hackman discuss how to save our place in nature before it\\u2019s too late.

\\xa0

Will Hackman is an issue advocate and a contributing author on energy, environmental, and

climate change. He served as a campaign manager for federal races for the U.S.

House and Senate, and has been an ocean and public lands conservation advocate

since 2013.

\\xa0

His love for the ocean started when he experienced being a commercial fisherman in Alaska. His time at sea left the life of the ocean in his veins, and\\xa0 he became part of the ocean conservation movement.

\\xa0

He combined his background in both politics and the fishing industry to build public campaigns for international ocean conservation, aiming to stop overfishing and foreign illegal fishing around the world.

\\xa0

In this episode, Will Hackman talks about how the collective action of committed people working together for the reduction of harmful environmental emissions can save human civilization by\\xa0 stimulating the end of climate change. By doing so, we can not only survive - but thrive in a sustainable utopia.\\xa0
