Earth Day 2020: in the time of COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“the biggest test the world has faced since the Second World War”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, those of us alive now, in the time of COVID-19, have an opportunity to do great things \u2026 to be stoic and responsible and educated regarding the science of both COVID-19 and Climate Change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We, those of us alive now, in the time of COVID-19, have NEVER had our lives or our livelihoods threatened in the way that generations were tested during WWII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will WE be up to the challenge? Will we “make do and mend”? Will we be responsible, i.e. STAY HOME, wear masks when we must go out \u2026 irrespective of regulations \u2026 WILL WE look to the science and make responsible decisions for ourselves and for others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope so. For tomorrow and for the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of today’s humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At my house, I’ve been up \u2026 down \u2026 normal-ish and everything in between. I have work and food and the ability to get outside in the sunshine and fresh air, but sometimes, the heartbreak of health care workers and sick people and out of work people and people suffering food insecurity \u2026 it can be overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do what I am able to support others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is NOT just COVID-19 \u2026 climate change, global warming, carbon emissions… We MUST listen to Earth if we hope to have her as home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
