Agreed.

I've been working for environmental causes since the 70s, from saving the whales to attempting to outlaw steel jaw leghold traps, so needless to say the past year of the Trump administration has been beyond depressing.

But I am not done, I am not giving in, or giving up, and I firmly believe that one person can make a big difference. Still.

On my own small place, I am in the process of eliminating invasive species, and reintroducing formerly dominant species, such as the American chestnut. The fact that we've screwed up the planet does not mean that all is lost, it simply means that we need to step up NOW and play our part.

We can each play a role, however large or small, and if we simply do so consistently, it will make a much larger difference than we can even imagine.

Here's to working together for the greater good of all!
