First off, I hope you are faring well during this time in our collective history. Could you ever imagine something like this happening in our lifetime? I did not. It feels like fiction. Nevertheless, my family and I are adapting as well as possible to this new normal. Now that we have put a pause on life (as we know it), how would you like to see things resume once we hit play? For me, I live in the bustling city of Toronto, Canada and have enjoyed the slower pace immensely. We do not need to live a hectic fast-paced – for those of you who do, knock yourself out! As a collective, it would be wonderful to move forward in a way that no longer compromises our planet’s health and from that, the rest will fall into place. So, my fellow traveller, while we await the green light to leave our homes freely, I thought I would bring the world to you, sitting in your armchair.
Shall we leave a close to zero carbon footprint? Grab your favourite beverage and snack and let the journey begin.
