Take A Loss To Live:

What are we
But particles
Floating on the winds of the Universe

So small-minded
That we fail
To ever see the big picture

Instead

We kill each other
Because our meaningless ideas
May happen to differ

Meanwhile
Our planet turns against us

This Mother we call Earth
Is gearing up
To shed our existence

Her temperature is climbing
And in turn
Her seas are rising
Her weather grows stronger

And yet
We argue
Over the color of the sky

While those with the power to change
Can't see past the dollar signs in their eyes

So make no mistake
Their corporate greed alone
Will be the reason
All of humanity dies

Eventually

My rabid environmentalist brother goes on about saving the planet, so I asked him; How many trees have you planted in your life? 3? only 3? Every property I have ever owned is covered in trees, the old farm 5,000 trees over 12 years, the old mountain place, 1,200 trees. Current small lot; 12 trees, 26 bushes, bee friendly drought resistant flowers and small shrubs.
When I was in school, long, long time ago, we were told people would starve to death by the 70's, panic has been played over and over for 50 years now.
When Mnt St Helens blew I was in eSwatini, living in the middle of no where, high on a mountain top. The dust cloud caused hail storms that far away, 3 feet of small hail in our yard, 30 miles south, bowling ball hail that killed many.
Do what you can and enjoy life.

We are stewards of this great land. If we want it nice for our children's children we better take a look at things.

Happy Labor Day.
