All species on this earth can live in unity. We don't need to poach animals for sport, we don't need to drive native species out of their environment to build shit only to line our capitalist pockets. We think humans are the top of the food chain, yet we use and abuse our natural resources, we strip forests, we pollute our water and our air. We kill each other because we get our feeling hurt.

We are active participants in our own extinction, so are we really the superior species on the planet?

When it comes to the climate crisis, we have the ability to adapt and change. The question is, will we? When will we start thinking about the larger picture? Start thinking about the world as a whole and not as parts. We need to stop thinking about our individualism and start thinking about the health and wellness of the society we live in.

Every small change towards reducing our footprint on this ball of dirt we call home, helps. Earth is the only known planet which has all the ingredients for life as we know it. Do we really want to allow it to degrade into an uninhabitable abyss of greed and suffering?
