Many people will use the excuse that we need to save the economy to justify quitting on the climate.

Those who raised me taught me that to have a comfortable life, you have to study to get good jobs that you can keep for several decades, then buy a house and provide a comfortable situation for those you love.

What will it take for these people to understand that it is the Earth that provides for the economy and your comfort, I do not know.

The truth is, without a healthy planet, you can forget about your privileges. Your money will not save you from a ruined climate.

The climate is far more important than the economy and the next generations deserve better than our greed and pride that are their destroyers.

The climate seems to be changing. Just like covid, we are not allowed to discuss the causes.

That being said our best move is to restore the carbon cycle and put as much in the soil as possible. Any civilation that depletes the soil will fail, at least all of them have up to now.

The homesteading tsunami and a push towards more regenerative farming will help restore soil. There are efforts from big food companies to go more regenerative, it is just very early. I'm hearing some promising stuff in that space. Money is the key here, if companies make money by doing good things, they will.

If you trace the word economy to its roots, it means providing for the needs of ones household. Money is just one means of doing this. As a society finding other means is important.

Applying #permaculture to all aspects of life is the way forward for me. I will plan for extremes in weather: hot, cold, dry, ect...
