WE inherited a beautiful world from our human and non-human ancestors, one that possessed ample resources to keep us all in indefinite comfort, security and contentment.

Yet look at the situation today: over a billion people living well below subsistence level.

Civil wars kept going at least partly by our contrivance, leading to the indescribable scenes of children suffering.

A large and obscenely overprivileged elite wallowing in illgotten wealth and luxury beyond the dreams of avarice.

That’s without even beginning to describe the appalling injustice routinely inflicted on our fellow and wholly innocent tenants of this once beautiful planet.
