Elephants and Us, a Glimpse Ahead

IF we (and I'm including elephants here) make it to the other side, it will be F-ing glorious to witness my grandchildren plug into an ecologically ("household study") righteous economic ("household management") system that does not derive its energy from blood oil or negative human emotions nor prey upon human frailties; a responsible system which rewards most that which sparks health and well being in human and natural systems, so that my children's children, unlike so many of my eco-minded, gen-xer friends who were squashed into the "environmental studies" box, will be able to choose freely amongst a myriad career paths all of which are regeneratively-oriented. Surely this is a pipe dream, but I'm seeing signs of awakening everywhere: energy, economics, agriculture, education. But climate chaos reigns as elephants are slaughtered and bankers are given a slap on the wrist. But this is what we are all working for right? "build[ing] a new world within the shell of the old." Otherwise, 60-80 years out, Earth(and I'm dropping the ".inc") will be a pretty bleak, dystopian ectoplasm of its former self.
