Happy #EarthDay

Today, we at @newrepublic are launching a series of first-person stories told by regular folks who deal with the effects of climate change every day.
The first is Mike Rossman's story, as told to me.https://newrepublic.com/article/153604/work-suicidal-farmers-its-becoming-much-bear …
Mike is a fourth-generation farmer and a PhD psychologist who runs a behavioral health service for farmers. He could barely find time to talk to me in the last three weeks, as flooding has ravaged the Midwest.https://newrepublic.com/article/153604/work-suicidal-farmers-its-becoming-much-bear …
This story is made up entirely of quotes from several phone calls Mike and I had over the last few weeks, spanning about 3 hours of interview time. All I did was pick and choose his words, and re-arrange them in story format.https://newrepublic.com/article/153604/work-suicidal-farmers-its-becoming-much-bear …
Obviously a lot of Mike's story had to be left on the cutting room floor. But hopefully it still does his work justice, because it's really important, and I hope ya'll can take a moment this Earth Day to read about it and share.https://newrepublic.com/article/153604/work-suicidal-farmers-its-becoming-much-bear …
this is a really superb piece--a strong voice that resonates!
thank you so much Bill!
I'm a clinical psychologist concerned that many people don't talk about climate change because they simply don’t know how to, so I wrote something about how to have a useful conversation about climate change. Here it ishttps://medium.com/s/story/how-to-have-a-useful-conversation-about-climate-change-in-11-steps-d4bbd4135e35?source=friends_link&sk=d3e04ff4603296f3af02a7a0e718c58c …
Save this planet with your actions, and stop waiting for a corrupt government to make positive change for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsRmEv02am8&list=PLKGGE_9oaL0Qo95E65LPI-xQsmy88g41v&index=40 … #EarthDay #EarthDay2019 #EarthDayRemindsMeThat #waterislife #water #standingrock #fint
Our neighboring farms are all disappearing. Children cannot maintain them and leave for jobs near metro areas. It is a thankless job, and yet wealthy farmers like Chuck Grassley get huge agricultural subsidies to keep his tax benefits. Sad.
this is the only vital thing I've read on Earth Day. Thank you and really looking forward to reading more of these
Thank goodness for the outlet of slaughtering wildlife.
