Strange Days on Planet Earth is a multi-year landmark undertaking inspired by this vision of the future. Climate change… Ecosystem degradation… Clean energy… Poverty… Disease… Strange Days on Planet Earth connects some of the greatest issues of our day. It presents problems, currently perceived to be disconnected, hopeless or even harmless, as globally connected, personally relevant and urgent. It brings into focus the realization that the decisions we make today will affect all life on Earth for years to come, and asks the simple but profound question: how do we move these decisions from minor to monumental?
