Citizens of this oasis in space,

we must all cherish and protect our unique little water planet who bore and raised, nurtures and feeds us. The privileged few who have a close communion with her, are the flag bearers of this effort but we must all forge ahead in unison no matter what the odds we face in this, the greatest challenge in the history of our species.  

Failure is simply not an option if we are to continue to exist. Urgency is now on our door step. Every one of us living on this planet must address it with the greatest attention and fervor. We must grab the helm of our future today if we dare hope to give back to the progeny some of what we have borrowed from those future generations. One look into a child's eyes is justification enough for us all to invest our hearts and souls into the future health of our one and only life support system.
