"The planet you are sitting on right now, as unbelievable as it seems, slowly pieced together by the collisions of endless cosmic scraps over millions of years. Formed by nothing more than the force of gravity, dust became rock, rock became boulder, and boulder became a molten lump so vast it would pull itself into the near-perfect sphere that we know and inhabit today."

"Life on Earth is a glorious abundance, richly diverse and phenomenally complex and interconnected. Our seas sparkle with fish species, our skies ring with the cries of birds and our forests are shaded by towering trees. It's worth taking a moment to appreciate how fantastic and how unlikely all this life really is, and to consider how we can protect and support it all for our futures."

"We are just one species among 10m. At the same time, though, we are unique in our ability to interact with one another in a way that enables us to make an impact on the entire planet and every other species. We have also, uniquely, evolved the capacity to evaluate our actions logically and morally from a greater perspective. With this insight comes great responsibility, and it is time for us to shoulder that responsibility – because nature is all we have, and all we are."
Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson

Unfortunately humans overall are self-centred and think little about their impacts on ouf planet. So we will continue down a path that may well end in our extinction.

And now every part of the environment and everything that lives on planet earth is polluted with micro and nano-plastics. Nice words but sadly far from the world we live in today.
