Big R and I have watched quite a few climate change docs lately. This one was particularly effective in getting the message across. So much so that L, after only seeing 15 minutes close to the end, is now planning on asking her teacher if she can talk to her class about ways that they can reduce their carbon footprint.
I feel sick. And weighed down. And worried. I just don’t see how we’re going to be able to turn this cruise ship around. My little veggie garden and compost pile and vermicompost bin and noble intentions to walk as much as I can aren’t going to be enough. Damn it all, people, unless we apply all of our collective intellect and creativity and resources towards solving this problem, I’m afraid that the rest of our problems won’t matter.
I guess I’ll just go hop into my bloody MINIVAN and go pick up my one daughter halfway across the city now. Should only take a quarter of a tank of gas.
