With Covid ravaging our health and climate change ravaging our weather, and so many people not wanting to do anything about it, it is hard not to get depressed. Unfortunately, depression can lead to apathy and inaction. The whole attitude of I don’t make a difference can be disastrous for our future. I don’t have a cure for depression, but I do have a cure for inaction.
I will not let depression keep me from doing what I need to do to help solve the climate crisis. It is too easy to sit back and let it happen — let it fall on the next generation to solve the problem. However, we can not have that attitude. It is totally selfish. WE are responsible for the future. It is the result of the past that we created.
There is a Greek proverb “A society grows when its elders planet trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in”.
So let’s begin planting those seeds and grow those trees for
Our Children, Grandchildren, all future Generations, and All Life.
