What on earth is going on in the world right now, it seems, as supposedly the most intelligent species, we are systematically destroying the planet! If it's not filling our oceans and killing sea life with non recyclable plastic it's destroying the homes of many native birds and animals by over clearing forests.. don't get me started on fracking. We were in the city over the weekend to take pics of Forests for Life's march to save WA's Karri and Jarrah forests. If greedy politicians thought more about what they will be leaving behind for their grandchildren to inherit they might not happily sign away our natural treasure. It was a peaceful, solemn march, hopefully having an impact on aforementioned politicians.. they know who they are! Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
It can be incredibly frustrating, especially these days.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to who march!
ReplyDeleteNot just the forests, I read the other day that NZ are spraying both North and South Island to kill rodents, what happens to the birds and other creatures that should eat the dead rodents????? Soon there will nothing left on this planet and of course Trump says there is nothing wrong either. When we visited USA we were horrified at the lack of recycling especially compared to here.
ReplyDeleteDriving into Angouleme on the highway today, looking back at the photos I took, there are green trees in pretty much every one despite being on the highway and going into the city. I was quite impressed. Take care Diane
I am amazed our eight and six year old granddaughters know so much about the environment and protecting it. I fear for them and what we are leaving them.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the Montreal Protocol Treaty every nation in the world pledged to fix the ozone layer... and worked. Again we need the politicians to work together and save us from climate change.
ReplyDeleteWorking together is the only way it's going to work. I'm afraid there are too many greedy politicians out there. Good to see people marching for what's important.
ReplyDeleteHow about making a little bit of the Australian desert green again. I think that you have to start by yourself and not decide what other countries must do but just convince them by example.
ReplyDeleteThis perfectly coincides with the United Nations Global Assessment that was just released. It is extremely sad to think that so many people find greed and wealth more important than the future of the earth. I don't know how they can sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteSame problems here in the USA.
ReplyDelete...this is easy, it's all about greed!
ReplyDeleteAbout time someone showed concern for the planet we all live on.
ReplyDeleteGood for them. All part of keeping sustained pressure on politicians and it's especially important activism shortly before our Federal vote.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder why people behave like they do. But good for these marchers I hope they can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
It´s sad, but I do believe greediness stands much above common sense in those politicians, Grace.
ReplyDeleteCertainly it´s still a good and needed thing to go into the streets like that! Peaceful, too.
Future generations, what will they have, see or endure...
You have done a great job of capturing the protest. Stop the Chop, a great name for this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat , Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMuito importante estas manifestações para chamar a atenção das pessoas para o nosso planeta.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

I admire all those people that fight for a better world for all of us. Hopefully this will make a difference!
ReplyDeleteI love the UN's sustainable development goals. They give us a way to frame our concerns. Always glad to see action being taken! Thank you for sharing, Grace.
