How am I approaching the #ClimateBreakdown? First by voting. Not paying attention to parties or personalities I have tried to vote for those who have not fallen for the great temptations of arrogance, greed, and presumption. (Matthew 4:1-10) There aren't many choices!! But rather voted for candidates who through compassion, wisdom, and generosity hopefully will have the courage to make the big decisions. Secondly, as you can see below, this past year I have been desperately trying to find things that will actually grow in my part of Texas. Nothing that grows in Iowa!! Lots of weird looking squash, Armenian cucumbers, short-day onions, Jubilee watermelon, peanuts, pomegranates, persimmons, peaches, odd apricots, and egg-shaped eggplant. Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers - but they are fickle. Two important links. The turn-around date is actually 2020 = https://www.resilience.org/…/with-the-world-on-the-line-sc…/ And, a well-rounded point of view = http://www.lifeworth.com/deepadaptation.pdf

There is a religious reference, but most of my friends and family have religious leanings. Visited with Magi about doing this as a chain letter, and she gave me a bunch of good ideas. However, in the end, I went soft. For my audience, I think it was the way to go.

If any of you have posted or written friends and family about voting and/or climate and would like to share below, that would be cool.
