My Wish List Is Pretty Short. I Wish That We Had Empathy. As A Society, We Are So Wrapped Up In Our Own Artificial Creations That We Have Become Disconnected From One Another And The Wonder Of Our Natural World. I Truly Believe That Empathy Is The Key To Solving The Majority Of Our Environmental And Social Problems.

I Really Do Believe That In Order To Overcome Our Environmental Shortcomings, We Have To Act United As A People, And That Means That Every Individual Has To Participate And Do Their Part. Certainly, We Need Government And Legislation, But The Governments Really Listen To People, So We All Have To Bring To The Table Our Own Effort Or Our Own Passion In Whatever Way That Manifests Itself.

People, Instead Of Competing, They Can Actually Support Each Other, In Music.

The Problem To Me With Environmentalism Is The Idea That We're All Gonna Die And We Need To Save Ourselves.

And That Will, Sort Of By Default, Save Us.
