By 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish if we don’t change our ways.
Check out my EcoStory The Sign on how the ocean might respond.

Like everyone in the entire world, I’ve spent the past few weeks getting to grips with a sudden new reality.

Homeschooling, EcoSouk projects on hold, no activities, a daily average of 5 hours 14 minutes on my phone – scrolling so much I woke up with my fingers cramping, my brother’s wedding cancelled, concern for my gung-ho, 70-year-old parents in the UK and despair that so little of the coronavirus conversation is examining why this has happened and how urgently we need to change our behavior towards other species and our planet.

But lately, I have also loved slowing down, buying less, making do with what I have, being creative, connecting with family and friends, meeting new neighbours, being silly with my kids.

And today these words helped me focus on these positives. I hope they lift you too.

Thank you @sonilaautumn where I first saw this poem by Kitty O’Meara, a previously little-known writer in the US whose reflections went viral and who yesterday told Oprah Magazine, “we can wallow where we are or we can see the invitations”✨ #covid_19 #coronavirus #coronavirusqatar #sustainableqatar #sustainableliving #sustainableworld

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌺⠀
⠀
This year’s theme is Each For Equal. What does it mean to you?⠀
⠀
For me, it is this little girl growing up knowing she is every bit as able as her brother to create a world in which she wants to live.⠀
⠀
A sustainable world full of kindness, compassion, friendship and laughter. ⠀

Look at this lavender! You can almost hear the bees buzzing! 🐝 🐝 🐝 ⠀

Early March is when the bumblebee queen starts emerging from hibernation, but spare a thought for her today...
⠀
Scientists say bumblebees’ rates of decline in Europe and North America are “consistent with a mass extinction”.⠀
