We strive to learn skills and to pass on our experiences as it is our responsibility to our future generations to be better stewards of this planet. We've always believed the bullshit fed to us throughout our lives that our world has infinite resources, infinte beauty, infinite sustainability and each new generation has access to a "better" life.
This is demonstrably not the case. If you live life with your eyes open then you can see the mounting problems that we face, not just to sustain our wholly selfish western way of living but to sustain our species. We must face the mounting facts that our current depletion of resources, coupled with our insatiable growth in population will end our time on this earth, fast!
So why all this gloomy talk, well, it takes a new addition to the family to sharpen your focus! Occasionally, i need to remind myself why we need to retrain oursleves, why we need to learn compassion, good judgement, fair share and how to live sustainably... it's for the future generation... it's for my 10-day old daughter Freya Florence... it's for her future.
