I’ll have more to say, later today. Think ANTHROPOCENE.

Anthropocene | Definition of Anthropocene by Merriam-Webster

Anthropocene definition is - the period of time during which human activities have had an environmental impact on the Earth regarded as constituting a distinct geological age.

Online dicdtionary:

ORIGIN early 21st cent.: from anthropo-, on the pattern of Holocene,Pleistocene, etc.

You must be as aware of this and as worried as I am, so I won’t go into too much detail. It’s all out there. I saw the documentary film Anthropocene at the LightBox (in Toronto) a week or so ago and then I went to the Anthropocene installation at the AGO this past week.

I can’t even take comfort in my age and the thought that I wont’ be here to see the worst of it as it comes to pass, because I have grand and great grand children who will inherit the dearth. I can’t say, as Louis X!V is supposed to have said: “Après moi, le déluge”, secure in the comforting knowledge that he wouldn’t be aroiund to see the disaster he had created. He didn’t care. I do.

What humans have done to this planet is terrifying. The films and photographs and moving pictures that I saw are stunningly beautiful and horrifically terrifying. I’m still reeling, realizing that I don’t live in the world I used to live in.I’ll do what I can, me in my small corner - and you in yours, I hope.

It’s really tomorrow now and I have more to say, on an approachable level.

Stay with me.
