About This Quote
The world is in trouble. It is literally on fire, literally consuming all of our resources, and literally destroying our environment with pollution. However, there are people who are working hard to make the world a better place, including people who are trying to live in balance with all of the elements. The Earth has special elements that have been around for billions of years. And, while we have no way of knowing how long it will take us humans to learn to live in balance with these elements, it is up to us to learn how to do so now.
