Earthrise from the Moon
We have this one place to live on called Earth and it is in dire straits. Climate change and global warming are dramatically altering the way we live, from melting glaciers to extreme weather. Our global economies forged a consortium of corruption and greed that promotes the burning of fossil fuels while wasting scarce, precious resources instead of practicing conservation and recycling.
NO time is left to act to keep the global climate from rising above the scientifically recognized 2 degrees Celcius mark that would set us into a tailspin of environmental reactions from which we could not return. Now, and only now, is when the governments of this world can show true leadership in the fight against this man-made crisis. Now is your chance to change the momentum.
For our sake and the sake of our grandchildren and future generations yet born, we must act. The adage of leaving behind a world better than the one we found must hold true through our sincerest efforts of day-by-day reduction and reuse of materials we already have, by recycling everything that we can and by use of wind, solar and geothermal power in place of burning fossil fuels. We have no other options. Please be courageous and do what our planet needs. What we all need to survive and flourish.
