                                several weeks now, ever since I read Amelia

                                photograph residents and speak with them about 
                                their eco-anxiety. To her surprise, she found 
                                quite a bit of “eco-apathy” instead.</P>

                                and the desperate need for caretaking in both of

                                escalating climate crisis, our acceptance of 
                                profit-driven healthcare, our ambivalence 
                                towards corporate-dominated food systems. I see 
                                it also in the lack of any accountability for 
                                international oil companies as they hastily 
                                withdraw from the Niger Delta (“Deserting the

                                constantly unfolding around the globe. It can
