 When the Winter Chrysanthemums Go

by Matsuo Basho

When the winter chrysanthemums go,
there's nothing to write about
but radishes.

there’s nothing to write about
but lack of snow.

Recommend Radio Free Vermont, by climate activist and founder of 350.org, Bill McKibben. Quick, fun "eco-activism" novel, in the vein of Edward Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang.
