wisdom as old as the planet

this clever little plant can bioaccumulate a number of metals, and is being used to clean up spoiled copper mines.  it is my belief that everything we need to heal our environment is already here. we just need to quit doing more damage long enough for the planet to heal itself.  after having just watched my husband be too impatient to rest his injured elbow following a tennis injury, before getting back on the court, i am trying to find empathy with our collective lack of progress in addressing climate change. change is hard. i guess we will have to take an ambulance to the ER before we truly give it a rest.
