How we as a society face our current global environmental crisis?
With fear paralysis to take meaningful steps for this discussion to come to the front of our priorities.
“Almost everyone is familiar with the fight-flight response—your reaction to a stimulus perceived as an imminent threat to your survival. However, less well-known is the fight-flight-freeze response, which adds a crucial dimension to how you’re likely to react when the situation confronting you overwhelms your coping capacities and leaves you paralyzed in fear. “
Studies shows that The Insect Apocalypse Is Here and yet this is far from having any meaning on global affairs day to day life. All the signs are in front of us that we as humans will have to learn to live in better harmony with our environment, as “if” our survival depends on it.
“What we’re losing is not just the diversity part of biodiversity, but the bio part: life in sheer quantity. While I was writing this article, scientists learned that the world’s largest king penguin colony shrank by 88 percent in 35 years, that more than 97 percent of the bluefin tuna that once lived in the ocean are gone. The number of Sophie the Giraffe toys sold in France in a single year is nine times the number of all the giraffes that still live in Africa.”
In such a short frame of time, we are losing serious biodiversity life, with nature being unable to keep up with human development and civilization craving for energy and consumption.
I am looking for ways to bring awareness and also do my part, by becoming aware of my environment, fauna and flora, and finding ways to lessen my environmental impact where I can.
We need cutting edge politics that are in accordance with the contingencies that we all face today as a diverse and energy hungry civilization.
We need our fauna, flora and nature well kept in order to be able to be successful as civilization. Success is being able to produce enough energy and resources for all of our needs, and yet be able to live in harmony with nature and other species.

We all have our share of responsibility.
