"Mitigating Climate Chaos: Be the Change"
Sunday, September 4, 2022
I gleaned the following articles in 10 minutes of searching this afternoon. Just like a flapping butterfly in the Amazon can initiate a hurricane in the North Atlantic, we can make individual efforts to mitigate the climate crisis that’s upon us. As a whole, any individual effort may seem hopeless, but the fact that climate in now a significant talking point across the world, means we could be at a tipping point for change. No matter what we do, increasingly difficult times lie ahead, but our actions now may lessen the severity of the cataclysm that awaits. Our individual actions to forestall a climate caused dystopia may make no difference whatsoever, but doing nothing only insures the acceleration of the catastrophe unfolding around us and makes us complicit in its outcome. “Be the change” never had such important application as now.
