Planet Earth has been here for billions of years and it’ll likely be here for billions more. It’s not really the world that needs saving, humans are what need to be saved. If we don’t work together, humans will just be a phase that Earth went through like that haircut from high school. Will you help us break our addiction to dinosaur juice (a.k.a. fossil fuels) and join us in the global fight to curb climate change? Let’s spread love, not emissions!
