The direction of our lives needs to be positive. We weren’t born to cause trouble or do harm to others. For our life to be of value, I think we must develop good human qualities – warmth, kindness, compassion. Then our life will become meaningful and more peaceful – happier.

The problems humanity faces today demand a positive mental attitude and a sense of compassion for others. I firmly believe we can solve the majority of our problems by developing a sense of universal responsibility—wanting to do something for others without a selfish motive.

As long as a dead tree is more valuable to us than a living tree and as long as the destruction of nature is worth more than nature itself we won’t be able to solve the climate and ecological emergency.

I have 100% confidence young people are going to change this country for the better and build a better society for future generations.
We will fight to save our future, remove those that stand in our way and replace them to be the leaders they never were.

"We are currently, in a systematic manner, exterminating all non-human living beings," Anne Larigauderie, IPBES executive secretary, told AFP."
It would be great if everyone would start to wake up. Like right now. #FaceTheClimateEmergency #EcoBreakdown

If you ever feel hopeless just remember that there are 10s of thousands newspapers & TVstations.
If only a few of them started treating the climate- and ecological crisis like a crisis, people would become aware and put pressure on leaders. Then everything could change overnight.

"My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter. My mother got to see Mr. Yoho's disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television. I am here because I have to show my parents that...that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men."

Last year, Elijah McClain was just walking home from the convenience store when he was put in a now-banned hold by police officers and later died. Elijah McClain was 23 years old. Elijah McClain should be alive today, and his family deserves justice.

These Master Classes that @Iolani_School is having is genius. I legit would’ve taken one if I had Kawika Shoji teaching sports psychology, Guy Kawasaki teaching the art of pitch, or Bobby Webster teaching business of sport. Iolani is moving education forward!
