Our world must change. The world will change. It is changing. And I don’t think any of us quite appreciate just how much change is necessary and will be forced to occur. Addressing climate change will require more than carbon offsets. This shouldn’t be groundbreaking news. Carbon offsets can only serve as a stop-gap solution. …
As we continue to reflect on our time in Glasgow, we want to expand, one at a time, upon the three themes we introduced last week, starting with, “Don’t promise action; plan action and be prepared to show your work.” There is still no consensus on whether or not COP26 was a success or a complete failure. But, quite…
COP26 was one of those “You had to be there” moments. Every day, the headlines continued to push for more change, for faster change. Greta Thunberg’s “blah, blah, blah” plastered signs and posters across the city and wormed their way into most conversations.

To hoe, or not to hoe, that was the question.
News Bulletin: we interrupt regularly scheduled bloggery to bring you this news flash…yesterday, for the first time in over twenty years, a white swan was sighted!
Slowly the rear door of the livestock trailer opened, and I saw them for the first time, all thirty of them. Jet black, pure white, and most hues in between. Not a shared gene among them.
