There will be more crises, environmentally and in human health, until we start focussing on 'cleaning the tank' (see image below). We need to heal the natural world and heal ourselves.
But the current economic system, with its need for profit and growth, prioritizes the interests of the mega, destructive corporations: the war industry, big pharma, big agriculture, big tech, etc.
There are many people, organizations and businesses working within this system, to try and change things - for example, check out the regenerative agriculture movement. But it is difficult to see how things can change on the scale needed, until we abolish the economic system that has empowered a few destructive industries, with its need for constant and growing profit at any cost.
