Quote: “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall”. Confucius
To head off into 2021 it must be said, 2020 has been a year where the majority of us were forced to stop, reflect and rise to new challenges. Since last update I have come across some amazing initiatives that deliver empathy and give opportunity to rise and make the lives of those in need and all of us better.
Greenpeace has started to tell Australia’s biggest companies to REenergise and go 100% renewable. The companies they focused on are Woolworths, Coles, Vodafone and Optus. By having these companies go 100% renewable means renewable energy becomes more of a power play in our communities. Greenpeace also ranks Australia’s companies on them leading the way on reaching 100% renewable and which are falling behind. Click here

Access to a decent toilet can prevent disease, reduce gender violence and improve education.
Global Citizen has embarked upon a campaign addressing the Global Sanitation Crisis, reading from the Global Citizen’s website. “Access to a decent toilet can prevent disease, reduce gender-based violence, and improve health and education outcomes for people living in extreme poverty. But, for 2 billion individuals, lack of access to basic sanitation facilities is a reality — while 673 million people are forced to defecate in the open, using everything from street gutters to bushes, bodies of water, and fields.” Click here
Since last blog I have tweeted about Climate Change and petitions shouting for equality and social justice.
