Mokopunatanga is the practice of considering the impacts of our lifestyles and everyday decisions on future generations. We haven’t been very good at this over the past few generations. We must plan now to ensure our grandchildren and great-great-great grandchildren inherit a planet that is in better condition than what we have now. These are conversations we must have today – we cannot afford to wait any longer as evidence builds of pending environmental collapse and communities are already being affected in adverse ways.
