Informative article, thank you.
Sometimes when faced with hardcore denial or complete indifference from people, I am ready to give up the fight and almost wish that nature's response would be swifter and more fatal. I get the vibe that our species does not deserve to survive...
Maybe evolution should just run its natural course, wipe us out and let some more adaptive species dominate.
@ZsoZso all I can ask is that you keep trying ~ nothing else. I feel just as alone. But, I care about seeing California Valley quail, butterfly’s, frogs and drinking fresh water.
I would be in denial if I believed that my footprint alone was going to save the human race. My grandmother was in denial when she told my mother she should not have children following WWII. I do not know what will happen once I pass on, but I do know that I will never know the rest of the story here on earth as a human being in my current form ~ period. Once the lights go out, I am done ~ period. The rest will be up to you
All I can possibly do is the best I can with the life I have been given. Was I blessed, hell no. If I was and missed the bus, then shame on me; but it was unfair not to bless all the others with less than me.
Our family is doing everything humanly possible to gtfafff (I hope you can guess that acronym). We have solar panels, EV, down to one car, etc.
It is kind of like enlisting in the army back in 1969, not drafted; I followed my path and hoped everything would turn out for the better.
Please do not give up, my grandchildren are at stake. And yes, I know that if our family makes it, many others that are not the brightest light bulbs on the human chandelier will also make it. I would be in denial otherwise
