Be Kind to the Planet
While you are focusing on the many aspects of aging well, please remember to be kind to our Planet in the process - make it part of your personal style, be it fashion, living space arrangements, financial investing, driving, consumer goods and food. Our Planet, too, needs your help to survive and age with grace and dignity. Reduce your carbon footprint as much as possible, make it a goal through sustainable consumption and reduction of Planet-toxic activities. Walk, take the bus, use an all-electric vehicle, reduce food waste, use renewable and sustainable consumption practices. Make your personal style a statement of who you including standing up for our Planet and its survival. Global Warming is real and a Global crisis is looming if not tackled in your lifetime. Leave the Planet to the children of the future to enjoy.
