Soledad Núñez

Imagine that, instead of living 50 more years, you were to live 200 more. Or even 500. Do you think you would use your resources as you do now, or would you rather keep a little more for tomorrow?

If you believe it would be very costly to create a sustainable world, you have no idea how expensive it would be to carry on with our unsustainable one.
