10 facts about nature that encourage us to be a new generation!
The first step to changing something is to raise your own awareness. Stop looking away and start looking. Since the industrial revolution - not even 100 years ago - we have consumed more resources than any previous generation: that means we are not only more people, but we are also consuming twice or three times as much. This is exactly what is pushing our planet and our ecosystems to their limits. Here are 10 facts about nature that will change the way you look at it. They should not discourage you, but on the contrary, open your heart to the idea that we can do things differently. As a generation that looks and stands by nature again.
#1 – Did you know that 2 million animals are killed every day? This fact leads to a consumption of resources that is frightening!
What you can do for nature:
Reduce your meat consumption, be curious, and try alternatives. Change is not renunciation, but gain.

#6 – Did you know that around 900,000 football fields of tropical rainforest are cleared every year? In doing so, we are destroying nothing less than the lungs of our earth!
What you can do for nature:
Reduce your meat consumption – and if so, only regionally! A large part of the cleared land is used for livestock farming. Look closely, and don't buy products from corporations that e.g. Use palm oil (You can find these instructions in small print with the ingredients.) Support petitions against importing soy or meat from overseas. The EU is one of these major importers. Tell them to stop this!

CHOOSE HOPE: YOUR SMALL DEEDS ARE THE GREAT DEEDS FOR NATURE, EARTH AND ANIMALS!
One of my biggest Awakanders, the famous chimpanzee researcher and environmental activist Jane Goodall, says:
"We can't go through the world without making a difference, but we decide for ourselves what that difference is"! Therefore, no matter how big or small the contribution we make, the main thing is to make it. Because we not only have the privilege of being on earth, but also the wonderful responsibility as the generation of a new era to look after it again!
For this reason, I personally support my organizations of trust with all I do and create. They stand up for the earth, animals, nature, greater awareness and indigenous cultures. I would be delighted if you join me on that way. Each and everyone of us can make a change. And together we can achieve much more than we think! Let's make Earth great again!
Thank you!
