Earth Day this year is making me feel a little cynical about the state of the planet. It seems like every month there’s a new big story about how dire our current trajectory is, how it could destroy us all, and how we desperately need to make change—and fast—to avoid annihilation. But of course, disinformation, economic inequality, and governmental ineffectiveness plague the U.S. and the world. The people most impacted by climate change are the least responsible for it, and those most responsible have no incentive to change their behavior. Why would they, when this system is working out pretty well for them.
