Thanks for your kind words. Our hope is that someday technology catches up with our desires. In the mean time we can at least perform "less bad" actions until we get to the point that we can do "good for" actions. If you are interested in how we developed our philosophy you may enjoy this lecture from one my mentors, Doctor Michael Braungart.
