+Recently I watched a Netflix documentary 'David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet.' Following that, I read his book as well. I love that he sites lots of examples of human impacts on Earth as well as success stories of cities and countries in achieving bewildering their lands and seas. 
+
+The author introduces policies, concepts and frameworks that can help the sustainability revolution. Particularly, the Doughnut Model by an Oxford economist Kate Raworth was intriguing. She published a book about it ('Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist') which I would love to read. I watched her TED talk which was very inspiring. I wish I had such a lecture when I was studying economics in Okayama!

+Coincidentally, I learnt from the internet search that Amsterdam has become the first city to use the model as a guide to rebuild the city that is suffering from the COVID-19. It is very exciting to see such a big city to take a bold action! I hope they will deliver good results and will be followed by others.
