Greta Thunberg speaking truth to power yesterday… All power to her.. ! She has created a collective Global movement at 16 years of age! Now will leaders listen and take action??🤔 This is about future generation’s sustainability on this blighted planet… What can be done to prevent total destruction? @GretaThunberg

Chestnut time again… Pause to consider this miraculous wonder of nature couched in a spiky protective shell until the moment comes when it falls from mother tree to smash wide open on the ground beneath her branches..

A little message texted by a friend yesterday after I mentioned that my mood was somewhat deflated… Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, don’t mess with Mr in between …. @ellafitzgerald

Thought for the day… Back in the early 70’s, Dave’s ( Eurythmics) stepfather, Julian, was obsessed with the fact that the ice caps were rapidly melting… He used to underline and quote passages from academic books about global sea levels rising exponentially while the planet grew hotter. He even used to go out walking with a sign board to warn people about what was happening. It seemed mildly eccentric at the time, but it made total sense. The ‘hippy’ movement was originally all about ecology and the destruction of ‘Gaia’.. but our Western world and post World War 2 modern consumer society is driven by profit, convenience and speed. Everything we do wreaks havoc on the planet.. This can’t be fixed by recycling plastic bags, straws and bottles.. It would require a MASSIVE turn around in industrial, economic, manufacturing, social, cultural systems and practices. Everything is inextricably interwoven.. Humans are the dominant creative and destructive life form on the planet. photograph courtesy of @mikeowenphotography
