“History will not judge you by your speeches, but by the livability of the planet you leave behind. Act with the urgency science demands — or accept responsibility for the suffering that follows.” When the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change warned that Europe must prepare for up to 3°C of warming by 2100,...

And How a Major Political Party Can Become Complicit Democratic systems rarely collapse all at once. Far more often, they erode slowly—through small compromises, repeated rationalizations, and the gradual normalization of behavior that once would have been unthinkable. Criminal conduct, unethical behavior, corruption, and government complicity do not usually arrive wearing a warning label. They... Continue Reading →
“Climate change does not mean the end of winter—it means the end of stability. A warming planet disrupts the systems that once kept weather predictable, allowing extreme cold to spill into places unprepared for it. Bitter freezes are not evidence against climate change; they are increasingly evidence of it. When warming oceans and a rapidly... Continue Reading →
We hope you took the time to truly sit with the essence of the last blog post we just shared. Not just the data points or the individual stories, but the deeper pattern they reveal—the convergence of climate breakdown, concentrated power, silenced science, weakened institutions, and delayed action. That piece was written to clarify what... Continue Reading →
Education, Persistence, and Compassion: While protest and the exercise of our First Amendment rights are now more critical than ever, responding to violence with violence only perpetuates a cycle of harm. It invites retaliation, escalates conflict, and erodes trust, leaving little room for understanding or resolution. Lasting change begins when we reject the logic of... Continue Reading →
“Owning our fear doesn’t mean erasing it; it means recognizing it as part of us and choosing to move anyway. When we name our fear, it loses its power to quietly dictate our lives. It stops being the invisible hand on the steering wheel and becomes a signal, a teacher, a doorway. Growth doesn’t require... Continue Reading →
Earth Does Not Need Saving — We Do “Earth does not need saving, we do.”This sentence often lands with surprise, sometimes even discomfort. It runs counter to the way we’ve been taught to speak about the climate crisis—as if the planet were fragile glass and humanity its reckless caretaker. Yet when we pause and reflect,...

“Freedom is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.” - José Martí (Cuba) A Cultural Tapestry: Honoring the People of Latin America (and Spain) When I was in college, I took a cultural appreciation course that asked us to look beyond borders and headlines—to study people, their...

There is a popular storyline circulating right now, and it is remarkably persistent for something so intellectually lazy: Artificial Intelligence is dangerous because it will one day turn against us. It makes for excellent cinema. It makes for dramatic headlines. It also conveniently avoids a more uncomfortable truth. AI is not an alien intelligence arriving... Continue Reading →
In the midst of climate and ecological disruption, fresh ideas have never been more vital. Yet countless people who care deeply about the planet hold back—uncertain, worried about judgment, or convinced their thoughts aren’t “technical enough.” The reality is far simpler: the most powerful climate solutions often arise not from complex equations, but from human...

We need to leave racism and ethnicity divisional attitudes and thinking in the past Thanksgiving has always been a day wrapped in warmth, memory, and stories. We sit with family, share food, and talk about the things that matter. But underneath the holiday lies a very old story—a story about people who looked different, lived... Continue Reading →
