Hello and welcome to autumn.
As we enter this season of shorter days and changing foliage, we are reminded of the volatile times we live in — from multiple natural disasters to devastating human-caused violence and hatred. We hope that this newsletter can offer some inspiration when all seems grim. And if you live in the US, don’t forget to vote this November.
With much gratitude,
Your Friends at Earth Island Institute
