We are failing as stewards of the Earth
We pride ourselves on being “trailblazers,” yet our planetary habitat continues to decline. Land, air and water are laden with pollutants that we, as stewards of the Earth, have passively allowed; resulting in a self-imposed “war” for survival on the horizon, far more disastrous than any virtual one.
Unless we enlist now in a concerted global front to counter apathy and resist regressive policies and appalling ignorance displayed by arrogant, dismissive leaders, we will lose. No “Avatar,” “Star Wars” fleet, “Wonder Woman” or Mar-a-Lago consortium will restore planet Earth.
