In order to create change, there is a number of challenges ahead. One of them is in changing social and behavioural expectations. One of the way is by changing the narrative individuals are familiar to to another which is more preferable for the environment.

I am still producing and consuming what nature provides. Oh yes, I am separated from nature. Do you know I am inside the home, not roaming the streets or the woods like an animal... sleeping in the ground like a vegetable. I am also pretty clever too , I have university education from some human institutions, no squirrel nut diploma, I studied in england, an island where there is a queen... I work as well. I participate in the progress machine for a better future for all humans beings. I thought i'd help animals too but I have been told they are already dying. So the focus is on humans, not the pl
