      It will always remain a brave thing that you did. Perhaps you don’t see what the outsiders in the environmental movements are seeing from this, because you’ve been inside it. But think of this as an early sample of the multitude of actions …and steps that will break out around the world and across the country, and come to saturate the politics of our time.

      It’s certainly not the powder keg, it may not even be a blasting cap, it’s perhaps no more than a basic chemistry class showing that powder burns. Don’t look for results from this today, but look towards 2012. It’s odd that you have such ambivalence about this action when you yourself donated so much character and strength and engagement to it. All honor to you for showing up and taking it on. This is the real lesson you’ve taught here.

      Much respect and gratitude.See More

      Gail Zawacki Thanks Ross! I confess I am confused. I honestly don’t know what tack to take, or the best action going forward – I only know that so far if we continue unimpeded, we are headed towards oblivion.

      Ross Hunter I can’t remember now who said it – the question was, what’s the solution to climate change? And the answer is, everything. We throw everything we have at it.

      So you are doing more than your part with your great act of bearing witness to the dying trees. You have no idea how you inspire us do you?

      Just keep rooting for everyone and every thing. Read “Blessed Unrest” by Paul Hawken to see how we are all playing our parts. We are all called into service in our way. The patient may die. We ourselves may never live to see the result. Doesn’t matter. We do what we can and what we must.
