A factory farm is not a home. π
A regenerative coaching & consulting business helping vision-based leaders build workplace trust in partnership with our planet. What Does Earth Ask of You?
How will you respond? What does it mean to be human in a time of crisis? Are you suffering from the ecological pain that the death of so many species, the loss of so much beauty, generates? As an activist, are you beginning to doubt the effectiveness of marching and recycling? Are you finding your passion for life being drained by the anger and fighting all around you, and you long for a reconnect

Well, we had a stopped toilet that was not responding to what I could do. We have only one. Itβs Saturday. I called Roto-Rooter, they can in 45 minutes and charged me $317 for 10 minutes of work. Shame!

The rare New Britain Goshawk has been photographed for the first time in history! While there have been multiple sight-only reports of the bird, the goshawk has not been photographed or recorded in the 55 years since the last specimen was found: https://wwf.to/4gsLQCY.

Did you know, those little bees you see in the evening sitting on flowers are old bees.
Old & sick bees don't return to the hive at the end of their day.
They spend the night on flowers, and if they have the chance to see another sunrise, they resume their activity by bringing pollen or nectar to the colony.
They do this sensing that the end is near.
No bee waits to die in the hive so as not to burden the others.
So, next time you see an old little bee sat upon a flower as the night closes in...
..Thank the little bee for her life long service. π

In 1987, a 74-year-old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai came back to Tianjin and resumed his job as a rickshaw puller, securing a humble lodging near the railway station. He remained available for customers around the clock, consumed basic meals, and dressed in cast-off second-hand attire he stumbled upon. Every penny he earned through hard work went towards assisting underprivileged children in accessing education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work anymore. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.
In total, Bai donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!
