Rob Hopkins, Visiting from 2030

I've barely ever mentioned Rob Hopkins, founder of the international Transition Town movement. 

He recently gave this talk at a large protest in the UK, organized by Extinction Rebellion. 

Hopkins is known for being relentlessly focused on the future, on how to make it a livable one that people will want to be a part of, and this talk is no different. 

As with my reading of science fiction that looks toward some form of utopia, rather than dystopia, I find Hopkins' thoughts not just uplifting but necessary.
