Thank you Erin for this information rich report. As a climate justice activist, I see the great similarity in attitudes and inaction of our institutions - both public and private - in responding to the existential environmental and climate problems that we have brought upon ourselves.
The new heroes: "They're not here, they're not coming" - in the words of Don Henley. It is up to us as individuals to let our politicians and corporate executives know that it is not OK to do business as usual, that they need to put the planet before profits or else. If enough of us do that, persistently, then maybe it will make a difference.
As for myself, I'm trying to make a difference: with my consumer behavior, with my little protest marches, and with my Substack.
