We came to meet this Earth here. Whether we love to hear it or not, we will DIE one moment and others will enter and the Earth will remain. We have a duty to nurture and preserve the planet for those who are coming after us, in like manner that those who came before us
It’s not OK to keep deceiving your people consistently with videos and pictures. If any governor deserves a huge award for optics, it’s our governor.
