Our infrastructure is crumbling.

Our economy is trembling on the edge with a certain fall coming.

Our climate is changing faster than ever as a result of mankind.

Weather events are getting more severe as a result of climate changes.

Our governance is based on ignorance and short-term greed and/or thinking.

Life as we knew it is disappearing from the smallest insects to the largest mammals.

Natural resources are diminishing and more costly to find and extract.

We are all growing older with declining health.

Depressing, isn’t it?

Those who don’t recognize the above are ignorant of reality.

There is only one solution for us if we want to continue living:  learn to pursue minimalism, live more simply, and prepare for the worst.
