Tomorrow I will wear my solar hat to the school where I teach and I'll bike to work too but the articles getting my attention are less the thoughtful and encouraging like Michael Pollan's and more the bitter and satirical like Gail Collin's "fat Bush" piece in the New York times or this one in Salon about dumping Earth Day. In truth I feel torn between the desire to be "virtuous" as Pollan calls it and do my part and a cynical despair that it is far too late to do anything but "slow the growth"and cope with the resulting catastrophe.
