Our Environment Needs Help, and Humans Protect the Things We Care About
So, it’s time we all forge a personal relationship with Nature

Confession: I kinda feel like we’re living in some insane time-warped, dystopic, alternate reality where murphy’s law rules all. Okay, perhaps that’s a tad dramatic, but you get my drift. What I mean is, things are a little chaotic on several levels, and we’re all looking toward a future that doesn’t have a playbook. We have no idea what to expect, but at this point, things are looking pretty grim. I think most everyone knows this by now, so I’m not going to drag on about it.
Cultural conflicts and pandemics aside, the big kahuna on the horizon is global warming. A new sort of adversary humankind has never faced, at least not on this scale. Millions of people bury their heads in the sand because they don’t think there’s any other option. “How can one person make an impact?” they ask, “We’ve read the reports that say we’re already doomed. There’s no point.”
This may be true, but I can’t help but wonder… Isn’t now better than any other time to develop a relationship with Nature? Especially if we’re doomed?
