I still want to save my planet!
I’m still revelling in Dr Iain Stewart’s magnificent TV series “Earth: The Power of the Planet” which ended last night. The photography was utterly breath taking all the way through. His light and easy delivery explaining how our planet works, the traumas it has been through, and its ability to survive, gave a layman such as me some understanding of the enormity of Earth’s power.
It was all very humbling and his closing words said it all. (something like) “It’s not the planet that needs saving, the planet can look after itself, in fact it needs trauma to avoid stagnation. It’s not the planet that’s in danger, it’s us.”
So, taking this on board, I hereby change the name of this site to: “I want to save my planet from any further human exploitation so that I can carry on living on it.” But, for now, I’ll carry on using the shorter form :>)
Thank you Dr Stewart for a brilliant series.
