Marathon. Not a sprint.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Loss is a terrible thing. A tidal wave of grief can overwhelm without warning. It doesn't matter how much time goes by. Grief is a living, breathing thing.

Take good care this holiday season. Be kind and patient with yourself.
