Who on earth thinks it’s a good idea to expand airports in a climate crisis?
This expansion is supported by the government in the name of economic growth.
But the only things that will grow for sure are noise, air pollution and climate emissions.

They are your neighbors—your nanny, the worker who harvested the strawberries on your table, the roofer who repaired your home, the cleaner who ensured your streets were clean after the snowstorm.
They’ve paid taxes. They’re over 65. And there will be about 1 million of them by 2030.

Perspective.
There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.
Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.
