Take heart and remember we, the collective we that cares about our planet, has got this. I know it doesn’t seem that way, but we are rising, organizing and getting it done.

Today finds us inundated with overwhelming bad news from the new administration on all fronts. It’s enough to send someone back to bed for the rest of the year AND it is only overwhelming if we imagine we have to do something, about everything, right now. Good news – you don’t.

What do we need to do? Pick one or two areas close to your heart. Do some research on who is doing good work in those areas. Find a way to support those organizations local and national. Then breathe, have some fun and remember it’s okay to laugh. It all feels so very bad right now but sinking into the dark won’t bring the light. Be the light and take action from there.

Today we talk about the environment so I did some very short research on top environmental organizations. The article spells out who is doing good work and who is not or is pretending to be for the environment when they actually have another agenda. This article is fairly old (2006) but I noticed the organizations listed are very much active and working hard today.
