Big radical change is needed

Editor:

He gave us a beautiful planet.

He told us how to look after it.

He warned of severe consequences if we didn’t listen.

We didn’t listen.

We corrupted the soil.

We poisoned our pristine waters.

We have even invaded space “the last frontier.”

Was it ever in the plan that if we trashed this planet we could all move to the moon?

Our planet has been impacted.

Our lives on this planet – healthy, safe, peaceful and beautiful have been impacted. What can we as humans do to reverse this downward spiral?

Maybe humans don’t have a lot of power but we can think big.

Common sense tells us what is needed is change, big radical change.

Not so much change for my generation but for those people yet to come. We want to know who will take up this task?

We must believe we can make a change. Or is it too late?

Billie Power, Mulmur.
