Human Problem, Human Solution

As we speak, the sun is setting on the Fall colors and we sense you've got one week left to catch the last of it.⁠

Why so fast? Heat, in fact, record heat. All across the US, record breaking Sept and Oct temperatures are disoriented the natural process of trees prepping for Winter. ⁠

⁠

It means a dry shedding of leaves that often looks like green to grey to ground without a lot of color in between. ⁠

⁠

What it also means is that climate change continues to show up in ways large and small all over the world. Looking at the Eastern US over the past week means that dull leaves are the least of our concerns. ⁠

⁠

From unprecedented flooding that has devastated the mountain communities of Appalachia to wild fires out West, we're in the middle of a growing crisis. ⁠

⁠

This slow burning change is all around us and an important first step is to take note and recognize it's not natural. It's not normal. It's also not inevitable. ⁠

⁠

While it's a political and cultural problem to solve, the impacts could care less about personal politics. It demands collective awareness and action. Somethings must grow beyond religious or political boundaries. Things like air, water, wildlife and yes, even climate. ⁠

⁠

This Earth is all we've got. It's time to get really curious about climate, our daily choices, and our resilience in the face of a slow moving disaster. ⁠

⁠

It's time to see it for what science and experience indicates it is - A HUMAN PROBLEM THAT DEMANDS A HUMAN SOLUTION. ⁠

⁠

Are we HUMAN enough to step up?⁠
