Simply put, the Law of Simplicity & Consistency, the Law of Identity, and the Law of Amplification work together to create culture change.”

“* They say the world is broken;
yet, I only see love…
the kind that fills every heart around the globe with endless hope and unfounded fear for the new to come.

and a bright light inside the new dreams
of our generation.
(To see a future nowadays
is equal to threat.
Yet, we only seek understanding
while guiding the light.)”
― Laura Chouette

― Sadie Noni, The Fires of Tanam Alkin

“Vandalism isn't activism, you morons! If you want to help the climate, help the green energy industry become mainstream.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Rowdy Scientist: Handbook of Humanitarian Science

“Climate Activists (not all) have turned into Climate Karens, which has done nothing for the climate crisis, but has only added one more crisis to the list. BLM activists don't go about abusing white people, Pride activists don't go about harassing straight people, and yet, that's precisely what has become the norm in climate protests. Vandalism isn't activism, you morons! If you want to help the climate, help the green energy industry become mainstream.”

“We should also be saying that there is a bit of joy in eating sustainbly. Eating differently, not wasting, appreciating. Food is so much more than beefing. It’s about identity and fun and memory and community and tradition. We focus a lot on instead and substitute but what about as well?”
― Colm O'Regan, Climate Worrier: A Hypocrite’s Guide to Saving the Planet

“Oh no, it was something far more peculiar—luck.”
― Aaron Gilbee, How to Catch a Níð-höggr: Without Popping the World

“But we must try, and for that we need new visions. "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18) is an ancient statement that is as hyperbolic as it is insightful. A later admonition puts the need for action in moral terms: "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin." (James 4:17)
We may not know every detail of doing the right thing, but the direction of the required action is clear: to ensure the habitability of the biosphere while maintaining human dignity.”
― Vaclav Smil, Growth: From Microorganisms to Megacities

“Ditch the car, ride a bike.”
― Abhijit Naskar

“Along with the rest of the environmental movement, I used the expression 'climate emergency', but over the past year of elm-watching, I've realised emergencies are events that require immediate, drastic, high-paced intervention, designed to bring the situation to an end. Climate action just isn't like that and I no longer believe the emergency metaphor is helpful: it implies that the problem will be short-lived, that experts will be able to handle it and that we should be in a state of heightened emotion, in 'fight-or-flight' mode, until help arrives. It makes many people so upset that they're understandably immobilised or frozen with fear, or too distressed to be rational. In reality we all need to engage deeply and long term, in cool, life-affirming ways. I believe recovery or healing is a better way of thinking about the issue: getting off our fossil fuel addiction, restoring our damaged relationship with the rest of the natural world and trasforming to healthier ways of being.”
― Mandy Haggith, The Lost Elms: A Love Letter to Our Vanished Trees – and the Fight to Save Them

“We do not lack the technology to solve our crises. We lack the courage to value life more than profit.”
― Lawrence Nault

“The Human Virus (Climate Summon)

Mother Earth is a living organism,
forests are the lungs of the planet,
soil is the womb, oceans are blood -
climate change is the planet having fever,
in response to the human virus.

Economy rooted in greed is not growth,
religion rooted in dogma is not holy,
innovation rooted in vanity is not science,
abundance without wholeness ruins the society.

Earth doesn't need our consent to wipe us out,
any more than we asked permission from corona virus.
Cosmos carries no fury like a mother done wrong -
Mother brings us into the world, mother can take us out.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop

“The Great Activist (Sonnet)

The world doesn't need another climate summit,
the world needs a climate summon,
and not from some fair-weather activist
that jumps from one trend to another,
like privileged white women hop from
pseudoscience to pseudoscience -

the world needs a climate summon
from the commoners of the world,
everyday ordinary people with
a mundane job and a mundane life -

when these people sense the immediate
emergency that the planet faces,
then no amount of performative policy
will be required anymore,

because there is no greater environmental
stabilizer than commoners jolted to duty -
the greatest activist is the conscientious commoner.”
― Abhijit Naskar, With Love From A Blue Rock
