It’s okay to mourn the trees, you know. The bees, moths, fireflies, and everything else we’re losing. The rich want you to believe caring makes you weak, but actually, you’re wealthier than they could ever be.
I feel pretty let down by the fact that I grew up believing terrible people would face consequences for doing terrible things, and yet, that is precisely the opposite of what is happening in the world.
When the world seems close to pear shaped,
When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -

[ It works ...]
We live on a planet where trees communicate, octopuses dream, elephants honor their dead, bees dance to find their way, crows remember, ants build, cats heal with their purring, and the forest, after the fire, blooms again.
Dear David Attenborough,
Congratulations on reaching your 100th lap around the sun, young man!
Thank you for sharing the wonders of our world with such care and curiosity.
Here’s to many more years, slow and steady wins the race!
With admiration,
Jonathan the Tortoise
The best view in the universe is the one we call home. 🌎
Earth is the only home we have ever known, and from space its beauty is undeniable. This Earth Day, we honor the astronauts who see it from above, the scientists who study it from below, and the teams at Johnson Space Center who make that work possible. Seeing our world from space reminds us why protecting it matters for generations to come.
