The train

A few years ago, I read about how it's like we're all riding a train.  As this train of progress hurtles along, we keep making improvements.  We make the seats more comfortable, we dampen the noise, we improve the climate control but we never look to see that this train is heading towards an abyss.

I think we know about the abyss now.  Climate change, food security, air pollution, declining fish stocks and general environmental degradation are on the radar.  Now, it's a matter of changing the course of this train.
