“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whelve [welv] (v.) -To conceal, hide or bury something beneath something else. -To turn over and hide something underneath; to bury something. Used in a sentence: “Housekeeping around here is basically a frantic scurryfunge where I whelve everything under the coats in the hall closet.”

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
