1-6-21, What a day today is! While we all waited to hear the outcome of the Georgia Senate runoffs, Trump’s army stormed the US Capital and stopped the proceedings of Congress. Wow! Taking freedom of speech to insurrection at his urging. What a sore loser!! So glad that we only have 14 more days of this guy but remain concerned what further chaos he will unleash.
On a more positive note, just learned that the Democrats won the 2 Georgia Senate seats and now will be in control of both houses of Congress. This is good news for those of us concerned with Climate Change as there is a ton of work to do to undo the wreckage that Trump has done. It also means that as a major focus of the Biden administration, with John Kerry leading the charge, we can start to focus on reducing carbon emissions more aggressively.
Our plates are very full with the pandemic, difficult economic and racial disparities plus just plain old daily challenges of raising a family, work and keeping food on the table. Problem is, old mother nature is going to keep throwing new challenges at us since we have pissed her off by damaging the proverbial garden of eden, so we gotta keep slogging along and take them on, one by one.
So, despite a chaotic day and a few more to come, I am sure; things will get better. That said, take a deep breath and roll up your sleeves to get to work on reducing your carbon footprint because we can make it worse if we don’t.
