Start acting yesterday

If we want our children's children to even have a chance of living the life we live, we have to start acting yesterday.

Right now we're depleting the planet of resources faster than Mother Nature can replenish. And that's a bad thing.

Read this article http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/earth-overshoot-day-2-august-2017-year-planet-natural-resources-clean-water-soil-air-pollution-wwf-a7872086.html and watch the embedded videoclip to learn more.

Dutch for 'society' is 'samenleving', literally: 'togetherliving' and it says it all. We all live on this planet together. We can disagree with one another and even get angry. But in the end we have to pull resources and combine our strengths to surpass our weaknesses and make something of life. In the office we can perfectly work together with people we don't really like so why is it so hard to live with people who live in other countries?

I'd like to hear your thoughts about this. Please share them in the comment section of this medium.
