Big data from endangered glaciers & public health shows us that pandemics happen during periods of extreme climate change. As we come out of the latest pandemic, looking at past ones with cutting-edge technology shows us where we went wrong and what we can do right to prevent future pandemics and have a livable world: protect wilderness, ban wildlife trade, reduce pollution, and remain humble before the infinite complexity of nature. Changing one part of it has infinite effects on plants, animals, climate and therefore ourselves. Technological solutions can mitigate the effects of what we've done, but the only way to restore and protect a healthy lifestyle for humanity is to restore and protect nature.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be how to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world 🌍. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks gold, silver and digital currencies

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving!

“What we are seeing now is a devastating convergence of conflict and climate change that is both driving displacement and making life even more precarious for those already forced to flee.”—

The prompts you set in place become the only action you need to perform. The next step is actually a reaction. Place a glass of water by your bed. That was your action. The reaction was drinking it because it was so seamlessly easy to do.

There is nothing you can’t accomplish if you take things one easy step at a time. Patience and satisfaction await you.
