Open Our Eyes Toward Our Greatest Ally

If you can, please watch David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet, his latest (and maybe last) film on Netflix.




This shorter version, How to Save Our Planet, moves toward its more powerful counterpart above.

If only we could figure out how to achieve immortality...David Attenborough would be a prime candidate.

He's given me the confidence that maybe it's not too late. Hopefully the pandemic and Attenborough's message will open enough eyes for us to realize how precious life is, and start to do something about it. /pollyanna

We could pay people for not having kids. It would be cheaper than paying on the back end, as we are now.

According to research, most pregnancies are unplanned, so it's possible that populations would go along with the idea as something they could actually do to help their currently living descendants have a livable future.
