The Solutions Are Here, But …..

Growing up and losing one’s innocence certainly does come at a cost.

Speaking for myself, until Nixon came along when I was 13, I felt very sure that the grown-ups were doing everything possible to deal with our world’s problems: poverty, racism, pollution, ignorance, and the like.  And yes, there was more honesty in government at the time.

But now it’s clear that the existence of solutions really isn’t the gating factor associated with helping the world’s people lead longer, healthier, and happier lives.

If you’re struggling to find examples, let me suggest climate change mitigation.  Our planet’s on fire, but decarbonizing our energy and transportation sectors is eminently doable.  All we’re fighting against is greed.
