Today the BBC is reporting that 1/5th of all plant species are now endangered. A select list of some 10,000 or so endangered animal species are listed here – the actual number is much greater.
We are living through one of the largest extinction events our planet has known.
We consume, pollute, over fish, de-forest and generally destroy the environment without connecting our own long term survival to the health of the plant. Worse still we’re generally not even bothered so long as the effects are felt far away.
If one day you are lucky enough to have grand children and they ask what you did to help save the planet – what will you tell them?
