 "The most serious form of environmental pollution is always mind pollution. Environmental reform most fundamentally depends on changing the way we think. Scientists may have answers to environmental problems, but the answers are not solutions unless they change behavior. Enough technology! It's time to listen to the humanists again." --Roderick Nash (2001)

Americans, the reelection of Joe Biden is absolutely vital. Climate change is a leading reason why. Even if you disagree with some of his actions and policies, e.g., Gaza or COVID response, or are concerned about his age, please don't sit this one out or throw your vote away on a third party (effectively giving a vote to Trump). Not now. Biden has done perhaps more than any other single person in combating climate change through the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Act. But there is still a lot more that needs to be done--urgently. If you think the southern border is a mess or you are appalled by gruesome wars, what we are seeing now is nothing compared to what climate change will continue to bring. November is still a long way off, but please keep this in mind. Or better yet, start working now to keep him in office. (Congress matters too).  |

*When I use the term "exploration", I mean it in a personal sense (discovery for myself, or at a unique moment in time [everywhere after all--even crowded cities--endlessly await rediscovery--by new eyes and in new moments]), not in an absolute sense. With few exceptions (notably Antarctica), almost everywhere on earth has had other people around for a long time (though to varying degrees - high mountain tops or places like the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet for instance were far less visited and populated, and undoubtedly at least some pockets of the earth were never visited or populated). It is an enlightening experience though when on an isolated ridge in what feels like the middle of nowhere to wonder if anyone has set foot there but never knowing for sure. What is significant is that the landscape itself is left in such a condition that it isn't evident. Some places ought to be kept that way.
