we are KILLING the Earth.

More than one in five species on Earth now faces extinction, and that will rise to 50% by the end of the century unless urgent action is taken.

Scientists have labelled the biodiversity crisis as worse than the threat from climate change Over 28,000 species are directly threatened with extinction. That is 27 % of all species assessed.

We don't know exactly how many species go extinct every year but it could be 100,000 - about 1 every 5 minutes.

On a timeline scale, humans are more deadly to other species and our beautiful planet than covid has been to humans. The food chain is already breaking down in some very fundamental, serious ways.

But for today, I am holding love my heart and positive feelings towards our lovely planet and all of our panetary neighbors.

Hope springs eternal -- maybe all the maskhole qpukes will get their "rapture." Then the planet might have a chance at survival.

Maybe the adults now running our country will be able to ferret out solutionns.

And my policy is the same as yours. Houseflies get drawn to the screen door and released, or grabbed with a paper towel and put outside.

I mean, who the hell am I to end another creature's life? "More important" because some religious myths written by other humans said so? Not in my world.

Oh, wait. I can't leave it.

I'd better take the advice of Crosby Stills and Nash: "Love The One You're With."

The wealthy are already looking hard at other planets. Do they not realize Earth is not a throw away?
