EXCERPT:
VELSHI: "Kind of interesting, though, that we do, right? That’s the habit society has gotten into."
GUNN-WRIGHT: "It is. We like to think about the cost of what will happen because we like to think that the way we live right now has no cost. And we know that that is not true. We know that people, especially people of color are dying daily from fossil fuel pollution. We know that we are losing a million species right now because of climate change. We know that there are costs to the ways that we live right now and the sooner that we grapple with that reality, the sooner that we will all be able to build an America and a world that is safe and prosperous and healthy for all of us."
