Climate change isn’t all your fault. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do about it. — Everyone has a non-environmentally friendly vice. Mine is the 1-liter Tropical Fruit Gatorade. I train 15 hours a week, and I love to come home exhausted, open the fridge, and pull out a red Gatorade that cools your brain and quenches your thirst. So, every time I went to the…

The tab keeps growing faster than we can count — The planet is burning, the oceans boiling, and hurricanes are hitting unexpected locations. People are shocked, shaken, and struggling to understand the situation. How could this happen? Climate change used to be a Hollywood abstraction — now it’s become, all too suddenly, a devastating everyday reality. And it’s beginning, at…

Climate warnings from Antarctica and South America echo across the globe — The entire Atlantic seaboard, along with Florida, San Francisco’s hills, and San Diego: all gone. The Amazon Basin transformed into an Atlantic inlet, wiping out Buenos Aires, coastal Uruguay, and most of Paraguay. Alexandria and Cairo swamped by the intruding Mediterranean. London and Venice, remnants of history; The Netherlands and…

It was clear to me: I’ve always thought of infinity as walking through Antarctic glaciers, the repetitive and overwhelming whiteness of the landscapes, and the feeling of walking in circles. Well, these days, I had to reconsider my…

And my boss was there to witness it. — Friday night. I was finishing the last details of a presentation for my boss. WhatsApp messages back and forth to adjust the script and photos. But at one point, the messages from Africa ceased. Suddenly, a message in the general work group: my boss’s real-time location. I don’t understand it…

The schemes and roadblocks promoting fossil fuel dependency, even as the climate crisis escalates — Last week, I went for an earlybird ski session before heading to the office. I was in line to get one of the first chairs up the mountain when the energy cut down, making some crackling noises, signaling a bad prognosis. I stood in line, watching maintenance people running back…

And the uncertainties ahead in a world of false promises and loopholed environmental policies. — Our life is inextricably linked to the health of our environment. And water is the link that ties us to everything on Earth. Pretty much everything is made of water, or at least “with” water: our bodies and clothes, our industries and constructions. Even unsuspected consumers like server farms drink…
