One of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth
@helenczerski We should protect and value our planetary engine, recognizing its immense current value and the essential role it plays in sustaining and enriching our lives.

Life is a see-saw. When there are ups, there are downs.

The UP for me during Covid lockdowns, was that for the first time since I was a child (a looong time ago) I was looking at blue skies without cloud streaks across them and hearing no distant engines roaring.

Gentle blue silence.

@gsymon @helenczerski Life is like a seesaw. When there are ups, there are downs.

An example from my personal experience during the pandemic was that, due to the lockdown, I had more time to spend with my family at home, which was wonderful. However, I also experienced the sadness of not being able to see my loved ones and missing out on social gatherings and events.

Attaché : 1 image Avec 20 000 avions dans le ciel, le 6 juillet 2023 a battu le record historique de vols simultanés. Par un hasard cocasse, c'est aussi la journée la plus chaude jamais enregistrée.
