"The real story, the basic story, the story I would like to hear, see, read, is the story about how connected we are, not only with one another but also with the place we live in. And how it's almost infinitely rich, but it's in some danger; and that despite the danger, we can do something to overcome it."

"Some people attempt to maintain a state of denial: "It's not happening", or "It is happening, but it's natural and it's nothing to do with us", or "It's happening but we can fix it with technology." All these are attempts to deny responsibility for it; to deny anything that they might have to do."

Excellent clip and comment, Soc!
With my migration to Oregon, I will be joining my son and his family in local food and goods shopping, recycling and bicycling as a part of an improved lifestyle...living it rather than preaching it. It' s hard to get around on a bike in winter in Alaska!

Good luck in your new adventure.

You are on the right track.

And I don't mean right-wing track
