we were given the perfect home

So why does mankind seem so hellbent on destroying it?

what have we done?

On The Brink

Humans never seem to miss an opportunity to make money, even at the expense of planet Earth, or each other. Instead of sorting out problems, mankind is the instigator of most of them! We burn forests, fill the sea with plastic and treat nature as if it’s got an unlimited supply of free stuff. We’re pushing closer every day to the point of no return, while patting ourselves on the back for switching to paper straws. Yet our talent for self-destruction doesn’t stop at the environment. We kill each other by the millions, hurling entire families into disease-ridden camps with tarps for roofs. This isn’t progress, it’s us treating human beings like animals. We have pressed the self-destruct button, so dont act shocked when the alarms start to blare!
