Tread lightly on the earth

Susan has been be working away in her studio over a period of many weeks during the summer, when she had the chance between caring for her mum and the excessive walking we do, and the result of her endeavours were unveiled today.

And what a highly detailed intricate piece of work is is too, based on her passion for the natural world and the ongoing battle to champion its protection and value. We can’t live without the natural environment on so many different levels.

Sooner rather than later, the ruling elite of the world must act decisively to value and protect our natural world or it’s curtains for us all. There remains too much emphasis on economic growth at the expense of the natural world yet such growth often depends on the wealth of nature. The values of too many leaders remain entrenched in the accumulation of ££££ and $$$$ or whatever other currency you care to mention.

Now is the time for the circular economy where reusing and recycling products is required to be built into their design and manufacture rather than that responsibility being carried out as an incidental byproduct. Give entrepreneurs who see this way forward their head. The future doesn’t need to be like the past.

Don’t get me started on climate change, another fundamental crisis which we’re inexorably been drawn to the edge of a black hole from which their will be no escape if we get to that point of no return that seems so perilously close.
