This panel discusses the importance of prairies, conversation, and energy to provide a platform for discussing global issues such as climate change, and food and energy production. As Peter Raven says, “The world is a Garden, and We’re all the Gardeners.” An essential step in creating a one-planet future is measuring human impact on the Earth so we can make more informed choices. Humans are the most successful species on the planet. But we are using more resources than the Earth can provide.
