Loving our children means acting in their best interest, always. To say that we care about our planet and future generations, but take no action, is no longer an option. It's hypocrisy. Our behaviors and our habits are the result of our carbon addiction. By failing to take action to resist climate change we fail them. They aren't buying our excuses anymore. It's time to dig deep and take a hard look at this situation because it isn't going to resolve itself. We have to change, and fast. This website is dedicated to exploring the changes that are essential to the survival of our species. We all have skin in this game and we will have to make sacrifices. To whom much is given, much is expected. We have had the privilege of living in a time where our actions had no consequences, but now it is clear that our children and theirs will pay dearly for that. We owe them an inheritance of a livable world in which they can thrive. We have a lot of work to do.
In a world where climate change makes adding carbon emissions a dangerous and deadly choice, it has become painfully clear that the climate crisis takes no respite on its trajectory to detroy life as we know it. Occassionally, the news will update us on more climate change victims somewhere in the world, but they are guilty of greenwashing like the rest of us. The irony is that a week ago the news did mention just that. Increased bad weather was attributed to climate change, what a surprise. Then the very next newsworthy segment was about how this holiday season was seeing record numbers of travelers. The airports are overflowing with passengers visiting their loved ones. But, wait. We are in the midst of a climate crisis where emissions are public enemy #1. And aircraft are to blame for much of these emissions. So, what givies? Why are we flying? What makes any of us so special that we can ignore the climate crisis and push out flight after flight of holiday visits to grandma? Who the hell do we think we are? This is unacceptable. My family is grounded for the sake of future generations, why isn't yours?? Shame on you. You are killing us and you are wrong for these choices. These decisions to fly, in the face of this crisis, your habits are more important that your own grandkids. Loving means acting in their best interest, so it ios clear you do not love them.
