Wow! What a great article. As a previous peds nurse and member of NAM, your interactive & fun talk with our group was phenomenal and I am so happy to see how you expressed your thoughts so eloquently here. Thanks Becca for your attention to this important issue.
I believe the most serious issue--the life-threatening isssue--is the 56% of youth experiencing trauma from the prospect of a failed planet in 2050. Imagine thinking ahead to adulthood under that threat. Imagine being told daily to do your Algebra homework so you can get into a good college so you can get a job that may not exist. Unless 'the children' have an opportunity for action to shift the future, the trauma will increase. So will the other health symptoms, which are really signs of a deteriorating society.
This is so serious. I'd love to connect with you about this in more depth -- and learn with you. For now, yes. I agree that planetary trauma is a critical threat. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and partnership on this work.
