Fueling / by Karie Luidens

Who’s fueling the climate change that’s fueling the wildfires that are burning the land? Us, of course. Us, driving our car a thousand miles across the desert just to enjoy the ocean for a few days and then drive back again, burning fossil fuels the whole way. And us, all of us, driving all our cars all around. And us, heating our homes with natural gas and cooling them with air conditioning. And us, buying petroleum-derived plastic products and carrying them around in plastic bags. All of us. Those who think about it, and those who don’t. Those who care about it, and those who don’t. Those who believe it, and those who don’t.
