Climate change means that we are looking at the devastating possibility of a world in which glaciers and sea ice have simply melted away. Gone.

What change do you grieve?

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.”
—Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

How are you working for freedom?

Surely we’ve all had fantasies about a truly universal remote that would allow us to pause time, or fast forward it, or run time backward to replay a scene we loved.

How would you use such a universal remote?

“The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.”
—Armistead Maupin

What have you chosen to cut off for the sake of your own long-term health and happiness?
