I have always respected your tireless devotion to the environmental cause hatrack .
You have been sounding the alarm here for over 20 years now. I appreciate that commitment to this most important, but bizarrely overlooked issues.
When the environment goes to hell, wars increase (resource scarcity), societal health degrades, civil rights take a hit and yet that simple connection is never made.

I think it is the effort it takes to be a serious environmentalist that seems to turn people off. It is so easy to post feel good hashtags and then carry on with shopping and celebrity gossip etc.
