We are like a boat at sea: storms will alternate with stillness, rain will fall and scorching sun follow, yet the sailing must go on if you are to reach your destination. And you have to look after the boat: maintain it, repair it, love it. The planet is the boat, the destination our future and everyday we get closer to it. There is not 'one way to the future' but several possibilities for change. We build them day by day: in our social relations, work, research and leisure activities.
