Doom and gloom is not the way to go
Whether its your reaction to a pandemic such as COVID19 or to the far more serious, underlying meltdown of natural systems as a result of global warming, despair is not the answer. There are always solutions. This week I want to draw attention to the caricature of a 'doom and gloom' person as seen in the excerpt from my book, The Adventures of Polo the Bear. This character's attitude is actually harmful, because it paralyses action to effect change. Our world needs change: we can no longer take Earth's natural resources for granted. The global lockdown is showing us that Nature is resilient: it CAN and DOES recover remarkably quickly. Here is a lesson for us all. Clear water in Venetian canals and greatly reduced air pollution over Beijing is what good looks like. COVID19 will pass, the climate emergency will not, unless we learn and inspire each other to do better.
