If you think Google is a bit sketchy then switch your search engine to Ecosia. After every 45 searches you do they use the profits from advertising to plant a tree. You are basically saving the earth with your web browsing. You can add the Ecosia extension to your current browser or download the app. Do it now! I've done It and it takes seconds to do AND you will be doing your bit to green the earth.

This is a great paradigm shifting podcast from ABC Conversations. It challenges the long held belief that the success of the human race is due to 'survival of the fittest' and civilization is just a thin veneer. Rutger Bregman argues, rather successfully, that it is 'survival of the friendliest' that is the real reason we are the apex species on the planet. I truly believe that a strong connection through compassion, communication and co-operation is far more powerful than strength and even intelligence. This is another fine interview by the best in the business Richard Fidler.

Rutger Bregman takes a new look at the accepted idea that humans are just one disaster away from bad behaviour. He says our species' survival has long depended on the best aspects of our nature, such as kindness and the sharing of ideas

There are some people who enjoy taking an active vacation. They may enjoy anything from snowboarding or skiing all the way to bungee jumping.

Whether it is sitting at the front of a bus or the steps of parliamant, one small act of courage can create a tsunami of change. The history books will look very favourably on Greta Thunberg and I'm sure she will continue to be an inspiration to future generations.
