It's time to try something different! Young people have new ideas. Strong women know how to get things done while caring for others.

All of us are wondering, β€œWhat can I do to make a difference?” As the song by Melanie Demore goesβ€”β€œPut one foot in front of the other, and lead with love!”

What does it mean to β€œhonor the sanctity of all life”? How is it possible to consider the effects of human action over seven generations in a time of such rapid change? In this excerpt from Crows Calling, the parents of its heroine consider their lifestyle and its effects on our planet.

Climate change is one of many dangerous challenges young people face growing up. Older people must "grow up" as well, and start acting more responsibly--caring for the Earth, for nature, and for each other. Time grows short for the world we dream, for earth and hearts to mend.

The Secretary of Energy's saying climate change is a "side effect of building the modern world" reminds me of the old doctors' trope: "The operation was successful but the patient died"--only here we're talking the whole planet! 1/2
