We live in Eugene, OR, and have been on a 2-year mission to find a place that will have us - Panama, Italy, Portugal, Belize, Patagonia - mostly because of healthcare costs, political and cultural dread, and annual smoke from wildfires - yet your article really hits home. There is no running or hiding away from the escalating exponential global issues we face. See Umair Haque's article in Medium today. Time to be grateful for every precious day where we have access to clean water, breathable air, affordable power from the grid, food from local farms, and employment. I take NOTHING for granted. Turns out, Eugene is a really nice place to be! Maybe you guys would like it here.
Fantastic read. Love the increasing focus on the dots of social paradigms and the physical consequences we are facing today- another breathe a fresh air in between the dellusional discourses of technosolutionism and climate denial.
We definitely need long term solutions to pollution of the air, land, and water. In the short term, if anyone is struggling with the horrific air quality, my company makes Aspen air purification units that easily remove wildfire smoke. I'd be happy to help you get some relief.

Just the conversation I was having this morning... It's one thing or another and it's all of us, everywhere, all the time.
The disconnect is becoming everyday more salient.
Entrepreneurial solutions to the rescue. X-prize to out innovate wildfires: https://www.xprize.org/prizes/wildfire
We need to rekindle the connection between the individual human spirit and the reverence for nature and wilderness.
Good juice. As Wendell (Berry) says so simply, “what we need is here.”
