Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
At a minimum, we must align the signifiers of economic success with known ecological indicators — and this is just the first step on a long, complex realignment. If we fail to undertake this journey, we will be stuck paying for our own apocalypse.
Myths speak through individual authors and are given definition by them, but they’re painted on a bigger canvas than any one person.

(Quite apart from creating a positive story about the response to climate change).
I really, really don’t want to waste the next ten years, which may be the most crucial and decisive years of all of human history, collectively pretending that we can avert worst case future climate scenarios by dramatically increasing fossil fuel consumption.
I don’t tell other people what to do very often, but I am telling you all to do this: don’t buy anything with pesticides in its history and do everything you can to make your part of the world a habitat for more than humanity. Because anything less will not support even humans for very long.
