As we move into 2020 with hopes of every goodness, we are mindful of the need to protect our planet. “Our Hose is on Fire.” And, Australia is proof that we must act and be accountable as its custodians.
It is heartbreaking to watch the flames and the fear. There are also moments of hope as Koala, Kangaroo and People come together to brave the flames. At the same time, our attention must face the problem to create sustainable solutions.

We have to take responsibility for the climate crisis. It isn’t too late to start adopting a sustainable lifestyle. It isn’t too late to make changes. In 2020, our platform includes promoting a more sustainable living. To that end, our work with the Citizens Climate Lobby continues as well as our Arts advocacy for “No Yawning in Public™”. We hope to inspire others to protect our home.
