For readers who may feel a deep-seated feeling of grief associated with the environmental devastation that our society is visiting upon its home planet, this “train wreck in slow motion,” as it’s so often been described, here is a breathtakingly beautiful piece of writing from Carolyn Raffensperger, Executive Director of the Science & Environmental Health Network.
Whether it’s a book project or a blog post, I spend several hours every day trying to find the words that will best communicate the urgency of the environmental situation in a way that will inspire people to take on a spirit of hope and a commitment to action in a world where hopelessness and apathy seem to make more sense. So, when I come across language with this level of power and brilliance, I don’t mind making a heartfelt recommendation. Trust me on this one, and check out this fabulous short essay.
Nice Piece Craig.
