One reason to take care of the Earth now - Quote from "This Changes Everything: Capitalism VS The Climate" by Naomi Klein - “But the lesson of (the Island of) Nauru has to teach is not only about the dangers of fossil fuel emissions. It is about the mentality that allowed so many of us, and our ancestors, to believe that we could relate to the earth with such violence in the first place—to dig and drill out the substances we desired while thinking little of the trash left behind, whether in the land and water where the extraction takes place, or in the atmosphere, once the extracted material is burned. This carelessness is at the core of an economic model some political scientists call “extractivism.” A term originally used to describe economies based on removing ever more raw materials from the earth, usually for export, to traditional colonial powers, where “value” was added. And it’s a habit of thought that goes a long way toward explaining why an economic model based on endless growth ever seemed viable in the first place. Though developed under capitalism, governments across the ideological spectrum now embrace this resource-depleting model as a road to development, and it is this logic that climate change profoundly calls into question. “

We need to go from “things happen to me to things happen through me or by me.” We need to sustainably manage change to recover agency and capacity.
Being Trauma Informed:
If you have suffered traumatic events and seek help from mental health practitioners, your doctor or other services, ask if they are experienced with and/or have treated trauma or are trauma informed. This is true for massage or other somatic therapy practitioners. These professionals will be able to offer services with more compassion than those who have no experience with trauma or victims/survivors.
