Wife of Jason Box: “Lastly, the most difficult question to answer is about Jason [Box’s] mental health. I’d say climate change, and more broadly the whole host of environmental and social problems the world faces, does affect his psyche.

His style is not to lie awake at night worrying about them but to get up in the morning (or the middle of the night) and do something about it. I love the guy for it :)”
