- Summary
- Thirty writers, educators, activists, and scientists were asked by Orion Magazine to describe some of the other qualities that will be needed if humanity is to discover a more peaceful and redemptive way of living over the next thirty years. From optimism to improvisation, from young farmers to empty pockets, the responses collected here are as wide-ranging as they are compelling.
