As noted, we are not "health experts" with the lastest Covid-19 Pandemic.
The articles below are in random order.
A key factor in the crisis facing the world is ourselves - people, humans - and our desire to consume and aspire to enjoy a lifestyle that may/is not beneficial to a sustainable future.
Most countries seem focused on rebuilding "the economy" after any widespread natural disasters or the current Covid-19 Pandemic. It is our opinion that the approach may be flawed in that building the economy implies that there will be an increase in population that requires new infrastructure (transport, water, waste disposal, health facilities etc).
Overall trends are that the population continues to grow - at different rates for different regions or countries. It is also an ageing population that brings with it more demands on health systems (aged care) and family.
Lifestyle aspirations involve costs (housing, education, travel etc) and young families generally are forced to have both parents working. Early Child Care centres have sprung up to service this trend.
Some starting links dealing with these issues are listed below.

This website is not aligned with any political party and is not funded by any source.
We are concerned about several factors in the political sphere, briefly:
- Most "democratic" political parties seem more concerned with short-term vote-winning policies
- Most parties put forward "the economy" as their main platform - "jobs, jobs, jobs" without concern for the overall future sustainability of our planet.
- Very few people in politics are questioning the continued increase in world population as a driver of climate change.
- That current and future political leaders will need to have very strong leadership skills in order to work with other countries in the world for the long term benefit and sustainability of our planet.
- The recent "Wake Up Events" - drought, fires, floods and Covid-19 - in 2019-20 - have driven home the value of Community - local, regional, state-wide and country-wide. Current and future leaders need to grow and build our global community in order to tackle the looming reality of climate change which is happening faster than leaders want to accept.
