    Climate Change Mindset

    I’m such a pessimist this is the most optimistic way I can think of it: If I don’t drink from a straw, my nephew’s grandchildren can live another millisecond longer before the smoke chokes them out. Below you’ll find an image of an Eastern Box Turtle eating a watermelon near my compost pile.
