Our Challenge: Inspire - Inset

 

"It is not enough to understand the natural world; the point is to defend and preserve it.  Sympathy without action is the ruin of the soul." ~ Edward Abbey

 

Knowledge is of little consequence unless acted upon.

When faced with dire projections about the future of our planet, circumstances can overwhelm and, quite often, some variation of the phrase "Why bother -- what's the point?" becomes an all-too-common default.

But with so much at stake, inaction should never be an option. Instead, false presumptions of helplessness can be the first in a series of revelations that compel us to grow into more impressive people with higher standards for ourselves, our behavior, and instill in us a greater appreciation of our responsibility to others.

With the knowledge of an injustice or imminent danger comes a moral obligation to expose and oppose it.

RIGHT NOW, our shared atmosphere is on an accelerating course to reach a state of potentially unsurvivable, runaway climate extremes during the lives of today's children (+4C by 2060s or sooner catastrophic / incompatible with organized civilization).

Only EMERGENCY international action at EMERGENCY speed *may be* proportional enough to confront the scale, scope and urgency of what is already the greatest crime against humanity, most life and most future life EVER (Compilation: Betrayal of Life).

In this new age of environmental consequences, we can no longer afford to be soothed into the belief that things will be okay. And every one of us must find the strength to embrace all that must be faced in order to take this reality on. (See: Compilation: Psychology of climate crisis denial, inaction, immobilization)

ecoSanity is an urgent call to action for each of us to learn the basic science, spread the word, organize and mobilize to effect immediate, responsible, expansive social and ecological reform on a massive scale.

Get informed. Get inspired. Get involved and help to motivate bold, new, transformative approaches and 'just', resilient, EMERGENCY RESPONSES to the climate crisis FAST.
