[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-07-12 “ Attention all C.A.R.S. ! “ (Climate Active Readers & Supporters) Your Help is Needed! ‘birches’ has been posting a wonderful daily series of posts under the heading of “Climate Crisis” which are very intelligent and highly informative. They address our environmental emergency from the perspective of San Francisco, but, because what is affecting the Bay Area is for the most part affecting us all, the vast majority of information is universally pertinent and invaluable. Through his highly informed perception, generosity and impressive efforts, I have quickly grown to appreciate the invaluable contribution he makes to climate awareness on DK. In his extensive series of diaries, he has broken the crisis into categories based on the ways it impacts the myriad facets of our lives. Many posts essentially begin with the description of how environmental degradation is influencing a specific aspect of life quality in S.F. (with appropriate links) and then goes on to suggest very smart solutions. A common refrain in climate comments is: “what can I do about it” and it it would seem this cannot be addressed often enough. Ironically, birches’ posts are feeding us a cornucopia of pro-active ‘grist for the mill’, but it’s not being received. birches has proven himself to be a highly proactive and supportive team player in the DK climate community, as he consistently and untiringly leaves recs, as well as informed perceptive comments which help foster and support constructive dialogue. He does this daily, while at the same time shepherding comments to his daily posts. As his series is relatively new to DK, it is not getting enough traction. MB and Pakalolo recommend it regularly as do Gardening Toad, Dooey and myself. But despite this and leaving comments as often as we can, his numbers remain discouragingly low. He uses the same photo of an open umbrella with “CLIMATE CRISIS” written across it for all his diaries from this series. I wholeheartedly recommend reading his posts and hope you will take the time to do so and support his efforts by recs and comments.
