You're a breath of fresh air, my friend.

I've been in training for a societal change since the late 1950s with my playpen next to my maternal Grandma's large garden built for survival during the 1930s.

I graduated from playpen to a rope tied around my waist to crawl up and down rows of vegetables. I was taught that "gardening is food insurance," and that "the earth was nature's refrigerator" during the summer [moist soil keeps vegetable fresh] and buying them in a store is the beginning of their death in a refrigerator.

I gave up driving a car in 1970, so I rely on walking and trolley. A bike might be a possibility once the highways see much reduced driving.

My bucket list is almost non existent; a trip to the woods along a river satisfies my needs and gives me great pleasure.

The pandemic has been driving most people nuts, but I've been too busy growing food for the winter.

In essence, my gardening lifestyle had kept me younger than most my age. Five years ago I began singing karaoke on the Internet; I seem to be good because I get invited to sing a lot.

I think there is a lot out there for many people, but people my age are looking for the end. During the pandemic, I lost 29 pounds through work and reduced eating. I'm nearly the weight when I was running track at age 19. I encourage others to set goals of reduced standard of living and how to enjoy themselves.

I posted some late season pictures of my garden. Perhaps a small greenhouse will be added next year.

I hope that the planet will heal as you indicated.
