“I can only accept it for about one second a day”

THE AGE OF MAN

Happy Earth Day Everyone! No “holiday” on the calendar depresses me more, because it’s the one day a year our ongoing climate catastrophe gets brought up in the elementary schools, but always couched in a “take care of the planet by turning out the lights and recycling your soda cans” feel-good kind of way.

I say it depresses me, but what’s the alternative? I’m grown and I can barely manage to wrap my mind around the scale of what’s happening to the planet - do I really think kids need more exposure to this existential dread? No. No I don’t.
