The shared value is our continued existence. It's a question of sensitizing corporations and consumers to this shared value.

Here's your marshmallow test, Think: can you forego comfort and convenience now to receive a greater reward 50 or 100 years from now? That's difficult, because it's asking people to forego something they want now in favor of a benefit they may never personally see. To buy into this, you need a greater allegiance than many people have---species and planet allegiance. And we are not wired to overcome delay discounting.
