    Listened to a piece on the radio about how Mount Rainier is losing significant amounts of ice. Many cascading impacts are possible in my opinion. Made a submission for this news here: https://lemmy.ml/post/1227469

    Today while out walking, I met a middle aged woman and we struck up a conversation. She expressed frustration with how her environmental efforts frequently meet road blocks especially when those road blocks are capitalistic in nature. I reminded her that we need to appreciate our successes where we can get them, even if they are small. Overall good conversation, even if we both acknowledged the defeats we’ve experienced.
