2456. Prepare now

So before we get to what to do then we should talk about what to do now. 

Prepare. 

If we prepare now the future will be easier. First pay attention to your circumstances. Keeping the world from getting much worse but just a little worse may be the best we can do. This will be a challenge.  We will need each other. Not just materially but as friends and community.  The hint here is that we can use this crisis as a time to grow not only food in a utilitarian way but to grow self and community as worthwhile projects. It just might be that climate change pushes us back into working and planning cooperatively. Together. Maybe the generosity of collaboration can replace the cynicism of command and control.
