This is a very pretty piece, but also fuck that noise. I’m not going to accept that massive corporations get to kill the planet while we focus on our local recycling program. I’m not going to tell my children that there is no hope, when solutions exist to mitigate and prevent environmental disaster. I say this as a parent, environmentalist, and a former personal care giver to hospice: Fuck. That. Noise. The planet is not a terminally ill patient, and the reductionist metaphor both fails to address the real issues, or offer substantial solutions.
