I read an article the other day, or maybe it was in an interview on NPR, about how American media fails to address climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts while media in the rest of the world is reporting (thereby normalizing) actual real life progress being made. An American media climate change ignorance bubble. (If anyone read this or heard this too, shoot a link my way so I can put it here?)
It seems like when people start becoming aware of the problems with our current food systems, one of the first things they do is start panicking about zombies. When I lived in DC, I had a zombie disaster plan. I know I’m not the only one. I had a significant amount of food stored up, and my East Coast friends and I discussed how long we would wait for each other and where we would eventually try to meet up in the event of a zombie attack.
I’ve been gone for a month. Not gone as in spontaneously corporeally disembodied, but absent from the blog, the news, e-mail, and the internet at large. I was several days behind hearing about the death of federal climate change legislation. Yikes. That’s a big miss for me.
A while ago I sent out a tweet that said “What is community? (not rhetorical, please respond).” I heard nothing. So either no one was listening to me at that moment (which is a very real possibility)…
