Soil is Magic! It provides us with almost all the food we eat, helps to prevent flooding, and is home to massive biodiversity.
Right now much of our soil is damaged due to unsustainable farming practices. We really need to change the way we farm.
The good news is that there are ways we can help which will make a difference both to the soil and to the way it helps fight Climate Change.

Climate Change will be with us for a long time, creating havoc and making life difficult for many people. It will only get worse in the future.
The good news is that adaption is possible. We need the political will to make these changes, and the funding to make them happen. Challenge politicians to make better decisions!

Please share my wife's blog, and encourage our politicians to make the necessary changes.
The song of a nightingale is one of the sounds we hear less often these days. Globally we are driving many creatures to extinction.
This loss of biodiversity contributes to the ever-growing problems of Climate Change.
Just imagine a world without birds singing. We need to act fast to restore Nature to health.
Reading my wife's blog will, I hope, restore some optimism. There are many exciting projects happening worldwide.
Our population is growing and we need more land, but our soils are losing their fertility.
Our planet consists of only about 29% land (the rest is water) so a time has come when we need to think very carefully about our requirements and how we use that land.
As individuals we can make a contribution to how that land needs to be used. In fact we have a responsibility to do that.
Our lifestyle is destroying the stability of the planet. We must change for humanity to have a secure future.
We need to learn to live with less, and to treat Nature with care and respect. Our values need to include kindness and empathy.
Our future can be better than our present – but to get to that brighter future, we all need to contribute, to take part in the struggle to leave the old world behind.

Cheap and fast-turnaround fashion is a big contributor to global Climate Change. There are a number of ways for us to improve matters.
What we wear, and how it makes us feel, is very personal. WE can make decisions about how our clothes contribute to the well-being of the planet.
Thus, Here is a Difference We Can Make!

Please like and share my wife's blog. We would like as many people as possible to make a difference.
*** The important thing is not to stop questioning ***
We need to ask more questions. Why are the daffodils blooming in December? Why are the birds nesting earlier each year?
These questions have no easy answers, but we need to ask them.
Good things are happening - it needs millions of us to act. See more information in my wife's blog.

Please ask yourself: “What can I do?”
Marcus Aurelius said, “If we want to live in good times, the solution is easy. Do good things.”
Hope is hard to come by in this world of ours. Yet if we want to create more of it, we need to change ourselves.
This is already happening, and many ideas are in this blog. Do have a look.
If it inspires you to act, please like it and share it as widely as you can. It needs all of us to make a difference.
Recognizing the reality of Climate Change can be a step towards making a difference.
Start by talking about it. Have a family discussion, or invite the neighbours in and ask their opinion about what is happening. This can be the start of a learning process for everybody, often leading to a deeper involvement.
Politicians are wavering in their commitments. All of us need to encourage them to fight for our futures.
The choices we make define the life we live. Do they truly fit with our values?
We also need to look at decisions our leaders make. If they decide to subsidise fossil fuels then we will continue to use them, our carbon emissions will continue to rise, and our weather will become increasingly unpredictable.
Please help by sharing this blog, and by telling politicians to fight harder for the Climate and for Nature.
