Deer In The Headlights

One of a series of dispatches and meditations about the world and Caring for Creation

At least a couple of times each week, I will look at a page on the Internet that has a listing of “environmental news” headlines. I do this because I am supposed to be up to date on all the latest happenings, trends and wisdom in this area.

Most of the time, there is not much in this collection of headlines that could be construedDeer Crossing Sign as “good news”. Rather, all I seem to see is a collection of pretty depressing headlines about the continued declining state of our environment and the struggle that people are having trying to change the outlook and habits of others.

I read items like the article detailing the danger of long-trapped methane gas seeping into the environment from defrosting permafrost (which itself is being caused by climate change) and end up feeling totally overwhelmed. Frankly, I feel kind of like a deer trapped in the headlights in the middle of the road unable to make that decision – do I run or do I do nothing.
