Humanity is at its crossroads. The evidence is undeniable: wars in every corner of the world are destroying nations and producing millions of deaths, as well as hordes of refugees and mass starvation; climate alterations are causing catastrophic damage to entire regions, as well as vital crops; poisoning of the air, water, and earth are rampant; and, growing economic disparity between a small group of wealthy profiteers and the rest of the world is well documented.
