Coworker: you're having coffee so late? It'll keep you up.
Me: that's a problem for future me.
Future me, regretting my life choices:
So....Climate Change. I don't think a lot of people realize just how big of a deal it is. Or they do, but it's too big and scary to look completely at. Trust me, I was there too. (Still have been some days) But guys, this is an emergency for the WHOLE WORLD.
Temperatures are rising and destroying so much of the incredible aspects of nature, from our soil, to our wildlife! (Did you know that we've lost 40% of our insects?!) India and Pakistan had a mind boggling and dangerous as hell heat wave. Wildfires are becoming more and more frequent. It will only rise and continue as long as our governments don't get us AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS COMPLETELY. And hey would ya look at that, THEY'RE DOING THE EXACT *OPPOSITE*. The fossil fuel industry is incredibly profitable, especially right now. And that's all they care about! Money over lives. Money over kids *futures*. They have been making plans for more of what are called "Carbon Bombs". This CAN NOT HAPPEN. It will spell out CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE BREAKDOWN.
This shit is scaring the hell out of me every single day! It should scare the hell out of everyone!! But I'm not saying all of this to send people into a spiral of hopelessness, no. Very much the opposite. This is me urging EVERYONE to. Take. More. Action. This is an URGENT CRISIS. We need to take major action to put pressure on our government to be DONE with fossil fuels and to rely completely on green, alternative power sources. The best ways to do that seem to be protesting and civil disobedience, and/or supporting those groups financially. (As well as any other healthier things you can do, like composting, eating less red meats, biking to places more often etc. Though protesting with civil disobedience seems to bring about the biggest change.)
There are so many incredibly brave indigenous groups and climate groups all over the world putting pressure on their government. I've been watching the amazing work of Extinction Rebellion in NYC! I've been supporting them financially as often as I am able! There's also an Extinction Rebellion group here in Chicago! I plan on protesting with them when they do! I also highly recommend learning a lot more about climate change in general and many other ways of fighting against it. There are so many amazing, brave, intelligent people giving us the information, hope, and will we need to fight against this crisis. I will keep sharing all of them here with you!
We make our hope! We make it by taking action, and coming together as a community to fight this together! We're not alone in all of this. There are so many fighting, informing, and supporting us.
I know life is already so overwhelming. We all have our lives, our children, our jobs, school, and everything in between. But guys, life is going to get a HELL of a lot more difficult, scary and overwhelming if we keep doing what we've been doing. We all deserve a bright, peaceful future on this beautiful planet of ours! I won't stop fighting and doing everything in my power to fight against this. I hope you will too.
Baby Steps
My life has been in emergency mode for far too long and I’m trying to get out. One of the ways I plan to do this is by waking up earlier and going to bed earlier because I’m so emotionally exhausted by the time I get home from my job as a nanny that I can’t be productive in the evenings.
My eventual goal is to get up at 5am (although maybe even at 5:30). Yesterday I was up at 7am and I got a bath in before getting my life ready and leaving for work at 8am (I’ve been waking up at 7:30 and rushing to get out the door in time). Today I was up at 6:35 and I read a book in bed until I needed to get ready.
I am not yet the productive person I wish to be in the morning but I have made the small step of not rushing the moment I get up and that has helped me feel far less rushed throughout the day.
