"You will need your hearts to face this. I know what I'm asking but better a broken heart than no heart at all. Because even a broken heart is still made of love."
It's basic arithmetic. If you have one planet, one blanket of air, one cradle of soil, one place called home, and you destroy it: one minus one.
From Spark to Flare to Wildfire: Vermont Independence
I know the facts are unbearable. Reality is an avalanche of grief right now. Maybe we could call it Peak Grief. Currently, scientists are debating whether a quarter, a third, or fully half of all mammals will be extinct by 2050. Whats not up for debate - not ever - is a culture that devours with an entitlement so profound that it is turning the planet to dust.
There is no way to make more oil or coal. You can blow up mountains to get to the last of it, but now you're drawing down mountains as well as coal, and at the end of the day it's still gone.
The last time I looked, the planet had 197 million square miles, and not one inch more. You cannot have infinite growth on a finite planet. So capitalism is literally insane. And it's consuming the planet to death.
Please, re-ignite the fire in your heart. Read this wonderful, albeit difficult to swallow piece by Lierre Keith about the current state of our planet and the road to solidarity.
