It’s a long haul, but hang on.
By the time we see that climate change is really bad, your ability to fix it is extremely limited… The carbon gets up there, but the heating effect is delayed. And then the effect of that heat on the species and ecosystem is delayed. That means that even when you turn virtuous, things are actually going to get worse for quite a while.

And the lady without the words:
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about something that gets worse and then gets better.

February 14, 2020 at 12:27pmI grew up with the idea of waste not, want not programmed into me. I do what I can but without everyone focusing on the planet’s health, I’m a mere drop in the bucket. A sad thought, but true.
