Quiet Climate Milestones - Climate Reality
As we celebrate Memorial Day, think back to the generations that came before us and the existential challenges they faced. The ones, for example, who came together selflessly to defeat Nazi tyranny, whether they were daily risking death on the front lines or working hard on the home front. They took on this challenge because there were people and places in their lives they loved deeply and utterly, and there was nothing they wouldn’t do to protect them. And in part because of that love, they won.[For most people, getting a cup of locally grown "Moka Java" is probably not easy] - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We don’t have to face bullets, but we do have to face reality and make real choices about climate change. Those of us who’ve been working in the movement for decades are used to being called merchants of doom and gloom (and sometimes much worse). These names miss the point entirely. What gets me out of bed isn’t dread, but love for the faces that appear in my picture frames and around my breakfast table. Given a choice between giving up my arms or something happening to my family or friends, I’d offer you my legs too. [Would you even ask for any details about what "something" might be? Why would you offer to have your legs cut off for no additional benefit to anyone?] Just like any mother, I want my children to have the freedom to make the lives they want. I also want to be able to run in the mountains and savor a cup of Moka Java in the morning.
Java coffee is prized as one component in the traditional "Mocha Java" blend, which pairs coffee from Yemen and Java.
