I think we should be paying people to experiment with lifestyles having a very small environmental footprint.

We would measure the success of these experiments in terms of happiness.

Happy lifestyles having small environmental footprints would spread.

I think television is responsible for a lot of unhappiness.

Happy people don't buy a lot of stuff. They don't look up to people like Donald Trump.
