As adults we are facing so many decisions every day! When my kids were growing up we were joking about "adulting" but already in early 2000's there was a saying "aikuisten oikeesti" meaning that it was seriously for real. And in many ways being an adult means that we need to evaluate the impacts of our decisions, like the safety concerns or benefits of our actions - or inactions.
While walking or playing on the beach, my family has the rule of knowing where the wet sand begins - simply because sometimes there can be a wave that is much bigger than the others. Sometimes the waves carry big logs - huge, really - so the first rule on the beach is being safe.
This sand castle had been built during the low tide. Where I live the difference between low time and high tide can easily be 7-8 ft. (I often use this page to check the tides). Sometimes it is not safe to go to the beach. Other impacts (like the climate catastrophe) are so collective that it may feel daunting to even think about making "good decisions." Still, we can choose to reuse, reduce, repurpose and recycle and make responsible decisions, big and small.
