Climate Quote by Joel T. McGrath
““There are two types of people in the world, a solution-based person, and a sustainable person. A solution based person focuses on finding solutions to today’s problems. But, as for tomorrow’s problems, who cares? However, a sustainable person is the one that not only attempts to make an immediate fix, but also contemplates decisions for today, tomorrow and for years to come.””
