Today we enjoyed a long walk midst the wild beauty of Ahipara beach.

Last night we watched ‘This Changes Everything’, a documentary based on the book by Naomi Clines. The cinema was full. We saw challenging stories from around the globe calling for a new post industrial story in which we humans are not the rulers of creation taking whatever resources we want from the earth and in the process devastating vast areas of land as well as people’s lives.

Naomi offered a different story in which we, who are part of creation, need to take greater care of it, now, before it is too late. This is a story about the power of local communities working together to ensure the poorest and most vulnerable do not end up paying for the greed of the corporate and wealthy world. Given the imminent climate change talks in Paris, this challenge is timely.
