The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is right now.
But I don't think that advice includes people staring at a fast approaching wildfire...
Funny thing about wildfires: the ashes allow a new generation of flora to take root. It will suck for us, but the children of tomorrow might have unions, vacations, and universal healthcare by default.
I can dream of a future, even if it won't be mine to enjoy.
That’s how I feel when I watch Star Trek. I won’t be alive to see the Phoenix warp into space but I’m hopeful future generations get there.
Now can be both the second-best-time to plant a tree and the first-best-time to grab a bucket of water!
Remember everyone, the forest is on fire and there's not many places to run. The fires of climate change affects the entire world, and this administration and the wealthy that back them will gleefully pour fuel on the flames and let your house burn.
You can stand around begging for rain, asking why the landlord didn't fix the sprinklers or why he never checked the fire extinguishers or why he's hiding under his desk clutching the cash register for dear life...
Or you can grab a bucket.
