Not Too Late
We need stories to remind us why hope is complicated but necessary, because the opposite mode is to live neat lives powered by a self-affirming wireless fidelity to all-terrain gloom, where all signs point to defeat and despair waits at every turn. To hope is to embrace uncertainty, knowing the bad guys have not won yet.
--Renato Redentor Constantine, "How the Ants Moved the Elephants in Paris"
This is a book of little essays from varied voices about actions they are taking, and victories they are winning, against the climate change catastrophe. They are not in denial about how bad things are, but they are not in despair, and they hope that you too will work to make things less bad than they would be without you.
