Ignoring politics and political faction and hoping that you all avoid political comments below - one thing was clear from the inauguration speech of the 46th President of the United States today. The word 'unity' was justly emphasised and is so profoundly important today.
We are one species inhabiting one tiny world in the vastness of space. Our resources are not limitless and our home is under threat. Humanity is consuming one and a half times of the resources available and by any measure of mathematics, that is not sustainable.
After witnessing the worlds most powerful nation withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord I was so bitterly disheartened but I am warmed to see that the new administration plans to re-join the accord in an effort to stave off some of the worst that man-made climactic change will bring to our home. Of course it is all too little and too late, and more needs to be done, but it is a footstep in the right direction after so many backwards steps.
I don't want to wear my politics on my sleeve, but as a human that cares about other humans I wanted to express my hope that we can get back on track to tackle this crisis.
We are one humanity inhabiting one tiny planet in the vastness of space. We owe it to ourselves and our future generations to take care of our irreplaceable world and we cannot do that with hate and division in our hearts.
Stay safe everyone. Share love and hope. Show respect. Care.
