We Are Worth Saving

When I bought my first house, way back in 2001, I was already an environmentalist. It started – as it so often does – with a childhood love of animals and a desire to save them. Back then it was all about dolphin-friendly tuna, the ozone layer, and and Food Miles. That first house came with a recycle bin, and to begin with we were one of the only households in the street to make use of it. We watched as recycling became more mainstream, and more people started putting their recycling out, and then as rubbish collections shrank and the hold-outs were forced to recycle.
Since then we’ve phased out incandescent light bulbs, moved to more efficient appliances and cars with better fuel economy, and helped Fair Trade and Organic become mainstream words and concepts. Every time someone has come up with an answer to the question “What can we do?”, we’ve followed through with individual actions, and our desire for change has forced governmental action.
Except… nothing worthwhile has been done about climate change. Global leaders have spent 20+ years nitpicking about the details, during which time carbon emissions have been rising ever higher, meaning more drastic action – on which they will never agree – is necessary to prevent climate change ravaging the planet.
In the UK, on the face of it, there is some good news. In 2017, UK carbon emissions fell to levels last seen in 1890. This drop is driven by declining coal and natural gas use. We are using slightly more oil and petroleum, however. UK coal use is collapsing, and coal power output hit zero for the first time in more than 150 years in March 2016. Coal power output between April and September 2016 was less than that from the UK’s solar panels. Coal’s decline is due to a number

We are not stewards. We’re stakeholders.
Ryan and I watched the first episode of Blue Planet 2 yesterday. David Attenborough is at the helm for another series showing the awe and wonder of the natural world, using clever camera work, an intrepid crew and the occasional parlour trick to show us things we would never normally see, and – for the most part – could never imagine. Dolphins and false killer whales meeting up as old friends. A fish that carries a clam from the edge of the reef to its own personal anvil to crack it open. Fish that change sex. Marine plants (seaweed and phytoplankton) that produce at least as much oxygen as land plants, and probably much more.
