Plant With Purpose published a blog titled “Four things to remember when environmental issues seem overwhelming.” (Thanks to Katharine Hayhoe for sharing this.)

- Dozens of highly effective solutions are out there, and most of them save more money than they cost. (farmland restoration, clean cook stoves, electric vehicles)
- Earth has an incredible ability to heal.
- There have been big wins already.
- We aren’t meant to be the planet’s saviors, just to play our part.
With all the fires in Australia this winter, the news that the last decade was the hottest ever recorded, devastating hurricanes hitting the Southeast in the last 3 years, and governmental inaction, it’s good to remember these things. If we all pitch in, work hard, and do our part, it will make a big difference.
