Here is a short video by Greta Thunberg, someone who very much inspires me. Please watch and share it. Thank you.

Marine Life
According to new research, global warming is causing such a drastic change to the world’s oceans that it risks a mass extinction event of marine species that rivals anything that’s happened in the Earth’s history over tens of millions of years.
“The future of life in the oceans rests strongly on what we decide to do with greenhouse gases today. There are two vastly different oceans we could be seeing, one devoid of a lot of life we see today, depending on what we see with CO2 emissions moving forward,” said Justin Penn, a climate scientist at Princeton University who co-authored new research published in “Science”.
So what can you do? Reduce your carbon footprint, eat less meat, avoid using or purchasing items that are wrapped in plastic, and plant native trees. Trees are one of the best ways to take carbon out of the atmosphere. Thank you!
Still Very Important
This video, from September 2014, is still very important. Dr. Jane Goodall said, “in 200 years people will look back on this particular period and say to themselves, how did those people, at that time, just allow all those amazing creatures to vanish?” She continued to say, “if we all lose hope there is no hope. Without hope people fall into apathy. There is still a lot left worth fighting for.”
On Fire
Australia started the beginning of 2020 on fire. I saw horrific photos of kangaroos badly injured or burned to death. The number of animals that have died is approximately 1 billion, and this is on top of the animals who were lost in Australian bushfires in 2019! This is more animals than the population of humans in the United States. Entire species are thought to have been wiped out. Okay, folks, things have to change and we have to reduce our carbon footprints quickly!!! There is absolutely no time to lose. We all want to be loved, to be happy and to be safe. Animals do too. Climate change is contributing to the fires. Above is a photo of a burned koala bear. Work to save Earth’s inhabitants now!
