I woke up this morning to another ‘not so good’ piece of news in my inbox highlighting the long term impacts the war will have on the climate.. I initially thought about making today's post about this... But no. I think we are having enough negative in our lives right now. Of course, one may say ‘ but we cannot go around like nothing is happening’ And I agree. But also.. I feel very impotent. And I see some call to actions, but also feeling very dubious of their usefulness. I mean. I could give money to someone on airbnb, help collect some food. But what will it do? Help one person ? One family? What about all the others…? I was going to write about this. But I don’t have enough info, I am in the same boat as many of you reading me, impotent and with no answers. So, I went instead looking for some glimmers of good news in my newsletters from the week, of little steps that we are taking in the right direction, to prompt us to do more and bigger one and keep to the path, or just some positive news or feel good articles. I struggled to find many (but actually I found this on ‘how to avoid drowning in an ocean of information..’ which may be useful ) but here are some.. (click on the title to read the full articles) Rising price of fuel is bringing up the number of commuters using public transport
This may be a positive effect of raising fuel prices (Here they have already risen way too much for comfort…) . This should be the incentive to improve the public transportation, making it even more sustainable where possible, to rely less and less on fossil fuel. It will be of paramount importance to make it accessible price wise, to avoid even further class discrepancies.. There is some hope for the corals to survive the 2°C increase (but not the more realistic 2.7 °C) - and this is only a few species.. but can it be a motivation to see that nature may just make it if we do our part? And that it will not be ‘doom and gloom anyway’ ? Some beautiful nature pictures The world nature photography awards winners of 2021 have been announced!! We will forget about the pandemic Do you feel like you are already thinking of those lockdown days as something surreal. Like ‘did it really happen?’.. Well, it may be in out biology . Forgetting protects us from this debilitating anxiety not by deleting memories but by quieting their emotional scream… And if you need more that just my handful of findings.. here is a news site dedicated to ‘positive news’. C’mon. Must be better than those cats and dogs instagram reels… Just a note from me, in these complex days, you may see more thematic news breakdown, hope to keep it straight and to the point. But cannot guarantee..
