September 23, 2008

[hmpf]

Considering the news of the possible beginning of the end of the world as we know it I posted earlier (disclaimer: no, I do *not* think that we are irrevocably and without a doubt doomed. I think there is a very real *possibility* that we are doomed, or about to be doomed, and awareness of that possibility should cause us to act radically, NOW. This is *not* the same thing as believing all is already lost.) - well, considering those news, which apparently broke on September 23, it is eerily fitting that September 23 was also this year's Earth Overshoot Day.

Two big warning shots on the same day.

How do we go about changing society from the ground up, in less than half a decade?

Addendum: 'nother article about the methane thing here.

Addendum 2: Funny thing: although I really do believe we may be facing something damn near apocalyptic within the next few decades, I still care about fandom, and fanfic, and writing. Isn't that ridiculous?

Wow, that's fast. There must be some way to slow down consumption.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.
