In this issue of Doris, Cindy writes about hope and people's desire for meaningful work. She writes about her belief that people will change and start living sustainably, even when those around her don't hold the same belief. She writes about the philosophy of social ecology and how it has shaped her own views of the world. Cindy also touches on the stories that she tells herself and trying to square those with the actual truth of the situation. As always, this issue of Doris is thoughtful, hopeful, passionate, and highly recommended. -KA
