DJT’s screw-you Paris accord exit left us feeling bereft, but just partly for our planet. Cities, states and corporations are stepping up, and apparently the market favors sustainability. The awful part was watching America abdicate our role as a global leader and listening to his ignorance and scorn. Brutal.
And it’s not just last week’s news. So many travesties we never get to! The EPA gutting protection of public lands. The Justice Department reinstating ugly measures that don’t work. Hurricane season approaching with no one in charge of FEMA. What’s not to be outraged about? We are all exhausted.
Here’s what: we can’t change anything unless we speak out mobilize for 2018, understand how we got here and not let it happen again.
