Let’s Begin…
As millions around the world shelter at home, the smog melts away, the birds sing, and the waters run clear. What if we used this moment in our lives and in history as an opportunity to jumpstart the rebirth and rewilding of our planet when we go back to work and school? This moment can lead us to a healthier, cleaner, greener future, if only we grasp it. Tom Rivett-Carnac tells the story of what happened when we all stopped.

Humanity originated in nature. She warmed, fed and raised us. And we should treat her appropriately - with gratitude and love! And do not forget that man is part of nature, and not nature is part of man.
