What I'm reading: "Regeneration", by @PaulHawken. What I learned this morning:
Action is the precursor to Belief. If you want to believe you can make a difference, start taking action. For best results, join together with others.

PLEASE sign this petition. There's no place for advertising fossil fuels in Canada in 2023. Or greenwashing them. @CAPE_ACME @CitizensLobbyCa #ClimateEmergency

[@CAPE-ACME @CAPE_ACME]

Plain and simple: Fossil fuel emissions cause climate change which cause wildfires. #oilandgas sector is allowed to emit unabated in Canada. Time to cap #oilandgas emissions. Cc @JonathanWNV @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault

Hopelessness and helplessness are all too pervasive and lead to paralysis. Help them gain a sense of agency and empowerment, and encourage them to join together with like-minded people and become actionists. @thenosm @CAPE_ACME
