I'm a writer, a world citizen: across earth, water & sky
Actually this is only a cartoon... I have seen few dystopian movies, I'm Legend just to name one, where nature take back its place .

Possiamo paragonare la vita a uno spartito di musica il cui compositore è il nostro Karma. A noi di suonare le note con musicalità, osservando la migliore tecnica possibile, interpretando le nostre variazioni o cadenze, laddove ci è dato modo...

O for se no. A parte la questione del multilingua, che mi aveva attirata in un primo momento, nel suo blog ho riscontrato una grande sensibilità nel …

PETA’s free vegan starter kit . There is a lot of fuss around this trivial decision... We all should decide to do that since it is the only sane solution for saving not only the animals but and most of all, the entire Planet Earth. It is quite strange to keep writing about that, without receiving …
There are wars all over the world. There is sorrow and pain and confusion... the governments feed the anger and religions are the pretext to kill, to destroy and to ravage nature and the animals... and all blame to others! The powerful countries supply weapons and give money to help the contestants to keep …

From Abby Lu I "inherited" a task a bit special …
He is the first pope to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of all animals, who said, “Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission—to be of service to them wherever they require it.” And …
Source: Save Andy the Polar Bear Write an e-mail to: susan.babcock@ualberta.ca derocher@ualberta.ca I saw a petition about the polar bear Andy wearing a collar which is suffocating him. Since this isn't the first time such things are happening, I'm wondering if there is any possibility to avoid sufferance and death of these poor animals. I …

We ask the World Leaders, when they meet at the Paris climate conference this December, to urge to work for climate action, including a new universal …

Lately I often find myself thinking about my past, to the nefarious adventures of youth, to the values that were and those that have strengthened pushing me towards a total dedication to the protection of animals and nature. Seeing everything around me change, it sometimes captures the anguish and the repressed fear rises even tormenting …
