That’s a little something Ed Abbey would have enjoyed reading. I loved it, too. Thanks for the gentle reminders of what’s important.

I've been rereading his essays from One Life at a Time, Please, so he might have been especially influential in this one.

I really appreciate this piece. And, thank you for all the new books I can read. Currently, I am reading Elizabeth Kolbert's 'The Sixth Extinction.'

I'll have to check that out. What's she have to say, so far?

Apparently, we are in the 6th extinction now and have been since the mid-2000s. Sad stuff really.

Definitely sad. That article I linked to on the 5 mass extinctions is really interesting. Basically, most of them (except the asteroid) we caused by volcanoes releasing tons of CO2 and methane into the air. So we're basically doing the same thing, I guess. But if that past events prove anything, life will go on one way or another.
