This time last year as I was learning about just how badly the state our environment is in, how quickly climate change has progressed, the water crisis, the energy crisis....everything got quite dark and I tended to focus on all the bad news I couldn't stop thinking about. Personally, bad news actually spurs me into action. I go into my 'How can I help? Roll up the sleeves and pitch in mode'. Not everyone responds to doom and gloom this way though. For some people it's just too overwhelming or seemingly so remote that they can'yt possibly imagine how it might affect them or how their actions might make a difference. Educating people about the issues and raising awareness is important, and I don't believe in sugar coating anything, but I think you're quite right when you point out that providing, talking about and demonstrating solutions (especially in a positive way) is equally as important!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504083012497351241noreply@blogger.com
