Hello @kathplanethive. Congratulations for your first post! i's beautiful. Hive can be a little bit frustrating at the beginning because you do not have followers. So your post will stay for few seconds in the new post section then will disappear because nobody is reading your blog. This post could have been post in the ecotrain comunity for a larger audience. https://hive.blog/trending/hive-123046
If you have an activist mentality, you can start a "deep adaptation" group. I met many climate deniers among Hivers.
