“I deeply sympathize with the American people during this tragic time, as the natural disasters and wildfires you're facing are heartbreaking. But have you ever stopped to consider that countless others around the world face similar suffering even worse every day—suffering caused by your government’s actions and decisions? The leaders you've chosen are responsible for the destruction of millions of homes, dropping thousands of bombs from Iraq to Palestine, from Africa to Bosnia. While you endure your own hardship, it’s crucial to recognize the pain inflicted on others by the very power structures you support. The time has come to confront these realities, demand accountability, and acknowledge the global consequences of your nation's choices." As now may you understand the pain how it's feel to see your own house burning ”

“So many stories about disaster close the curtain before you see what happens
afterward. Especially in this era of catastrophe, we can always distract
ourselves with the next fire, the next flood, the next tragedy—ride

a place burns. But it seemed especially important to me to understand
what makes it possible for people to recover in this era of more common
disasters.”
― Madeline Ostrander, At Home on an Unruly Planet: Finding Refuge on a Changed Earth

Never has it felt more pressing to restore health to our habitats and increase Scotland's resilience to climate change.”
