We live in extraordinary times. The stories of our age are being written in mass species extinctions, catastrophic events, and accelerating climate change. It is also a time of social upheaval. Justice movements, such as #BlackLivesMatter, #IdleNoMore, #MeToo, school strikes for climate change (#FridaysForFuture), and the COVID pandemic make it clear that normalized social practices are troubling and inadequate. We cannot continue as we are; the current path is not sustainable. Social distress is increasing, and nature is crying.
