There is much to be said – and much being said – about the conditions and the state of nature at a moment in history where multiple species face extinction, where lush sceneries turn into wastelands and ice withdraws to its fluid state with unforeseen consequences. This tale of steady, catastrophic evolution seems to hold no place or time for meditation, when action appears to be the only solution.

Wow, 2025. We are halfway to 2050! Instead of a year-end list, how about a year kick off list?
