Ahí fuera se vive una orgía permanente en la que los chimpancés disfrutan de sus penes con espinas y los patos, de sus enormes sacacorchos; donde los pájaros se ponen los cuernos sin remordimiento alguno y las ranas se hacen las muertas para escapar de los pretendientes más insistentes; en el que los hongos tienen tres, cuatro o hasta miles de sexos, algunos peces cambian de sexo y otros llevan los genitales de sus examantes pegados a sus escamas; donde los zánganos eyaculan tan fuerte que revientan.

Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth’s composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization. Here, Paul Hawken looks at the flow of life through the lens of carbon. Embracing a panoramic view of carbon’s omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life.
