Saving Mother Earth
We find ourselves now
in daunting circumstances…
No time to give up!
Optimism propels us…
Innovation and effort!

For a cautiously optimistic view of saving our planet, go to YouTube and type “Chasing Carbon Zero/PBS/NOVA/Full Documentary.” in the search bar. This worked for me. (When I tried posting the URL, there was a message that the video was unavailable.)

Yes I agree. Amazing pictures by the way.

Kate, I am sorry you had trouble finding this. I tried to post the URL and got the message that the video was unavailable. I was able to get it though, by going to YouTube and typing the title, “Chasing Carbon Zero/PBS/Nova/Full Documentary” in the search bar. Your comment was very helpful; I revised the information about the video. I hope this helps. ❤ ❤ ❤

typing that in only found me their official trailer for ‘chasing carbon zero’ … maybe the full doco was recently produced and no online yet?

We first watched this on YouTube on TV. It is a very new video, but I was able to get it by going to YouTube on my laptop and typing the title in the search bar. After I did this, I clicked on the thumbnail and played the video. I did also see a thumbnail for the trailer. I hope this works for you, Kate. ❤
A similar scenario has happened to me with some music videos bloggers have posted . I got a message that they were unavailable in the US. Maybe it will be available in Australia soon.

I agree, Cheryl: if we give up hope, the destroyers win! Earth is so beautiful, and is fighting back in every tree and lake and mountain ❤️

Yes, Earth is definitely fighting back! We are watching the process of nature reclaiming the vacant lot next to us after Hurricane Ian downed almost all of the trees.
You are so right, Ingrid. We can’t let the destroyers win! Thank you for your beautiful comment! ❤

Thank you, Leo. We are doing well and hope you are also doing well. ❤ We have had our roof replaced and are still trying to hire someone to repair a few hairline cracks in our walls.
Nature is reclaiming the vacant lot next to us where most of the trees were downed by Hurricane Ian. It will take a while to fully recover, but life goes on in a pretty normal way. One of the things that is taking a long time is replacing the thousands of street signs and business signs that were taken out. It is so easy to get lost! 🙂
All the best!

I woke up at 5:30 this morning to a spectacular light show of a thunderstorm and an extreme weather alert of tornadoes in our area. It's just raining now. I tried to wake Robert up to enjoy the storm with me,
but he slept peacefully through the whole thing! 🙂
Enjoy your week! ❤
