in this problem and live to see it.
of what that would look like.
we've shared this publicly.
data about pollution

in the hands of people
地球温暖化の進路を変えるための
of global warming in our lifetime.
maybe I should back up.
話を戻しましょう
私はフレッド
since I was a kid,
環境主義者です
in my neighborhood pond
流出した化学物質のせいで
about environmentalism differently.
違う視点から考えるようになりました
for prosperity,
この世界で栄える事などに応えて
and thriving in this world.
