from decades worth of wonderful work - and seeing that work as a small part of the whole is hard. Large group habits are hard to break. I totally get that. I was involved in a group that thought recycling was the be all and end all. Recycling IS a great part of this -- but addressing this climate crisis is the more pressing a need in my opinion than recycling that pop can, that plastic container. Important work, yes -- everyone needs to do what they feel compelled to contribute. My volunteer work is this climate work now.

There ARE chapters for Citizens Climate Lobby in almost EVERY congressional district in the country now. And there is much need for assistance -- letter writing, making calls when requested, etc.

And Climate Reality -- there is no such thing as too many presenters of this material.

Find a group of like minded people -- you will be happier and feel more engaged, I guarantee it!
