“During the pandemic we learned we can dramatically change our way of life overnight,” said Kohei. “Look at the way we started working from home, cooking at home, spending more time with our families. This new lifestyle – planes grounded, consumption down – was demonstrably reducing carbon in the atmosphere. We proved that working less was friendlier to the environment and gave people a better life. As we slowed down, we had some room to reflect on our previous lifestyle. We realized it actually wasn’t bringing us all that much happiness. We just did it because we were used to it. But we could change it.”
