Congratulations! 💐
Do you know how few people can say they like themselves and their bodies? Good for you for doing the hard work to be able to say that!
Before using cast iron daily, when I donated blood my iron levels were regularly at the lowest allowable limit or sometimes too low to donate. Once I started cooking with cast iron, I started getting comments about how great my iron levels are every time I donate.
I tell mine that things will get worse before they get better. But we saw with the covid vaccine what can happen when countries and scientists work together. We will start to see more of those kinds of collaborations as it becomes more evident to the richest countries that there really is a problem that is escalating quickly. The current ramp up in forest fires, hurricanes, floods, droughts, etc will provide the impetus for policy makers to start implementing significant changes.
I'm sorry the comments in here mostly suck. It's hard as a parent dealing with climate anxiety in a teen. Don't deny what your teen is observing but give them some hope.
Thanks for sharing. I struggle with feeling such dread about the climate crisis. It's very helpful to see posts with positive stories like this. Such exciting possibilities for reducing fossil fuel usage and still having regular air travel.
I save my first cup for when I get into the office. It helps me look forward to going to work in the mornings. I start my day with a glad of water which probably helps with staying awake.

Damn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophyllum_commune?wprov=sfla1 It's true
Have you ever watched the Libertine? That movie drives the point home so well.
