‘I’m not feeling well.’ Your feelings are carbon. No other species is responsible for the climate disaster. We are. Why? Because only the human being has a hollow in her heart. Climate change is the unfulfilled, dark interiors of this species, Homo sapiens. We are destroyers because we are unhappy and loveless within. There can be no scientific, no economic, no political, no technological solution to the climate disaster. Not at all. Because this is purely a spiritual crisis.

Questioner: I'm very passionate about climate justice and climate change, and you know UC Berkeley is said to be one of the very environmentally friendly universities, but since coming here I feel like a lot of my peers actually don't really care.
You talk a lot about climate justice and climate change, and I was wondering, you know, I have this idea that climate change is my issue and as an individual, I have to do a lot for it. And that it's also sometimes disheartening, especially because you see a lot of big corporations doing most of the impact for climate change.
But I know you talk a lot about how climate change is human consciousness related, and I was wondering if you can elaborate on how our inner void and compulsive consumption are linked to environmental destruction, and how we can also manage that as purely individuals that have such a much smaller impact on environmental degradation.
