Earth Day was April 22. It went by hardly noticed. Our attention is on war and tariffs, the price of fuel and groceries, housing and jobs. All of that is important here and now.
But have you noticed that the conversation around climate has hushed ? William Rees (see link below) explains why humanity is mentally, socially and culturally unequipped to pay attention to this large scale, slow moving existential threat. If he's right, we are done.
It would be so tragic if our grandchildren are extinguished because we were distracted by the price of gasoline.
We could pay attention to the facts,
imagine a better future for the planet and
make it happen.
