Taking care of the environment and learning to be "good ancestors"

In an insightful couple of minutes, futurist Paul Saffo discusses the pitfalls of trying to solve environmental problems with an old mindset. In the long term, the solutions that work are not quick fixes, or wholesale abandonments of development. Instead of trying to fix things for our generation, we should focus on learning to be "good ancestors."
