Global Warnings
Most if not all of us fancy we see hear voices in the wind from time to time,. Maybe we should pause and make time to listen...
Fanciful, you say? Yes, of course, but sometimes what we digest
can do us a whole lot of good…so long as we can keep it down rather than throw it up because we feel
guilty for fancying it in the first place. It is high time we treated the natural world with the respect it deserves, not as a communal rubbish bin; nor killing vanishing species, for whatever reason, without putting safeguards in place to ensure their survival. Humankind has a collective responsibility towards all nature or Earth Mother will take the ultimate revenge, and it may well be the likes of you and me will not be found among any survivors
