Roaring Rivers

Torrents, currents, and ripples by Christyl Rivers

We’re all penned in by oil and plastic

Plastic production is ramping up. Forget your beach clean-ups. Forget your recycling. Only do these things when you know the people who MAKE the trash for profit are doing their part.

Actually, I changed my mind. Do the cleaning stuff.

I mean, if beach clean-ups help people to spot the dead shore birds, that’s a good thing.

Reality can be quite educational, albeit depressing.

If recycling helps people learn to read the greenwashed death printed on our containers, that’s good.

Learn that those stupid little symbols and triangles are designed for reassurance of your psyche, and not the liberation of the world, from our over-harvesting of it.

Greta Thunberg has inspired millions of people

Then COVID-19 came along and sensible people kept their distance from breathers of pathogens (that’s human beings). Momentum slowed.
