And what do she need to be really happy? is she happy today? My concept of happiness was totally different when I was 18 years old, than now 22 years after.

I don't know. But totally appreciate the different optic.
Why we do what we do ? What influences us ? And what is the impact on environment ?
“Inside Biosphere 2, everything made sense,” says Nelson. “Everything you did, you could see the impact of it. No anonymous actions. It was like my body suddenly got the message: every time you breathe, these plants are waiting for your CO2. They are your third lung. I thought, ‘My God, this is keeping me alive! I am absolutely metabolically connected to the life here.’”
