It is all too easy to feel that the world’s problems are so big that you cannot make a difference. It’s crucial that we have a sense of ‘working together’ on this most important challenge, to live sustainably. We need to nurture and deepen our relationships with others and fire up our compassion toward those in need, the young and future generations of living creatures on this planet.
