From Yes Magazine, an essay by David Orr: The Hour Before the Dawn. In it he lists ten reasons why those of us who care about the environment can feel hope.
Among them: The facts are on our side; our (new sustainable) technology is better (than old dinosaur petroleum technology); an economy organized around the convenience of the top 5 percent cannot be maintained for long; world opinion is on the side of the environmentalists; and environmentalists have been right on the issues for thirty years or more.
Professor Orr teaches at Oberlin, where the Dove began her long and peripatetic college career.
