You *are* the change

Are conformity, outdated habits and norms … keeping you from doing the right thing with your life?

Is fear keeping you stuck — “working for the man” — in the age of climate crisis?

Is it causing you to contribute needlessly to the destruction of our world? Mother Earth — our air, climate, food & water?

Is “playing it safe” really what you want and need to be doing with your life energy?

Take the leap — work for change! GoodWork.ca/Now

“To save the lives of our children, what would we not do?”

If you care about our children, and haven’t watched this extraordinary 10 minute speech by @Elizabeth May you need to do so right now…

“The good news is we still have a chance to save ourselves. To save the lives of our children, what would we not do? We as homo sapiens, the clever species, the smart ones, have at most 10 to 12 years to ensure that we stop greenhouse gas emissions. We are stepping up. We are going to rescue everybody…” — Elizabeth May | Youtube | Facebook
