Floating around the planet in space often brings the Overview Effect, realizing how interdependent everything is, how fragile our planet is, what ultimately matters. Ron Garan spent 178 days in space and has a message for all of us. We see the world in this order: Economy, Society, Planet. But reversing the order using a technique called Dolly Zoom will help us change our perspective.

“When we see our planet from the perspective of space, certain things become undeniably clear. We keep trying to deal with issues such as global warming, deforestation and biodiversity loss, as standalone issues, when in reality, they’re just symptoms of the underlying root problem. And the problem is that we don’t see ourselves as planetary.”
