5:11 “With so much aggression and violence around, don’t you think that society could do with a few more cowards?
Yes, cowards.
Isn’t that what the military call people who prefer not to kill each other?
So, it’s about time all you cowards come out of the closet and got to know one another. You can all help.
If you see a fight starting get the names and addresses of those people with their hands in their pockets, whistling, or walking away.
It might be simple, but it’s a start.

Just to illustrate the degree of biodiversity loss we’re facing, let’s take you through one analysis…
The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.*
These experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year.
If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true – i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet** – then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.
But if the upper estimate of species numbers is true – that there are 100 million different species co-existing with us on our planet – then between 10,000 and 100,000 species are becoming extinct each year.
Unlike the mass extinction events of geological history, the current extinction challenge is one for which a single species – ours – appears to be almost wholly responsible.
