We say we love Earth
but poison her water.
We feed food to animals first,
burn forests for cheap meat,
then complain about hunger.
Clean air is optional.
Healthy soil expendable.
Biodiversity collateral damage.
Plant-based is “too radical,”
but extinction acceptable?
Make Earth your Valentine.

Sophie Scholl (& the White Rose Resistance) stood up to the #Nazi regime. Made leaflets & passed them out at university. Executed by guillotine at age 21. She could have stopped the execution, but stood up for what she believed (anti-Nazi beliefs). A true #hero.

Old Etonian Nadhim Zahawi was sacked as Tory chairman for breaching the ministerial code, didn't stand for re-election because he was going to lose, even though his seat had been a Tory stronghold since 1950, begged Kemi for a life peerage but was turned down, then defected to Reform to spread lies.

The final Julian Barnes novel is not really a novel, more a memoir with the names changed. The hero of Departure(s) is the novelist himself .

Love this song from John Denver who is sorely missed! I always felt that John Denver was way ahead of us all. He was environmentally friendly and was aware of how important it is to take care of planet earth!
