It is economically irrational to exclude large environmental costs from the balance sheets of the producers and the consumers. You are only kidding yourself if you export those costs on to society as a whole.

Of all the questions I get asked as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, there are two - asked in various permutations via email, social media or in person - that chill me to the bone: 'Why don't you just make yourself legal?' And: 'Why don't you get in the back of the line?'

My dad used to say, 'Just be yourself and you'll be fine,' but it's really, really true.

~ Bindi Irwin
You have to be constantly reinventing yourself and investing in the future.
