Thank you for your latest update of the ongoing global collapse of both our civilization and its biological support systems. Given the major premises of our global market economy—“more is always better and what’s mine is not yours,” coupled with the discovery, exploitation, and depletion of the massive energy infusion of fossil fuels— this collapse is, and always was, inevitable.
The big question for today is this: What do we tell our children, now that their long-promised “future” has been cancelled, and we are leaving them a chaotic, dying world I would never wish for even my worst enemy…
My only answer to this is to repeat my mantra: Grow Gardens, Grow Community, Grow Awareness—by learning, teaching, healing, snd creating.
