“As we’re approaching a planet with 9 billion people on it, we need to find a global solution…The challenge for us is this is a long-term problem. This is the Earth for millennia. We need to move beyond the election cycle, beyond the quarterly report cycle.”

- Colby Loucks, Director of Conservation Sciences at WWF

You must be able to break away from them and start thinking rationally.

I think what Maldives is trying to tell the rest of the world is, look, it’s possible to do this. You don’t have to be burning all the fossil fuels.

I love the green leaven on the trees

When flowers bloom and buzzing bees

There’s so much beauty you can see

Come and take a nature walk with me!
