“Sure, you can say nuclear power is somewhat less carbon-intensive than burning fossil fuels for energy; beating your children to death with a club will prevent them from getting hit by a car. Ravaging the Earth by one irreparable means is not a sensible way to prevent it from being destroyed by another. There are alternatives. We should choose them and use them.” WayShouldMeanChildrenUseEarthEnergyCarOur ChildrenClubsNuclearDestroyedBurningAlternativesYour ChildrenFuelSensibleCarbonFossilsFossil FuelNuclear PowerIrreparableBurning Fossil Fuels Author:Rebecca Solnit
“A friend and I flew south with our children. During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car that's just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.” FeelsChildrenTogetherWomenPiecesWeekConditionsCarHairOur ChildrenSouthShoesTunesMechanicFlewTogether AgainLet DownAnother WomanTune Up Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud
“We have scarcely gotten home ... when our children's sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all day to do so.

“Whether you're playing a mom on-screen or you're in a car pool lane driving your child to school in the morning, there are similarities that are undeniable.

“Our children may save us if they are taught to care properly for the planet; but if not, it may be back to the Ice Age or the caves from where we first emerged.
