The Big Picture
What is the Big Picture?
Have you ever written your address as. . . Earth, the Solar System, the Milky Way, the Universe?
There are between 30 and 50 trillion stars out there in somewhere between 80 to 140 billion galaxies but Earth is the only place we call home. It's all we have (that is, until we catch up with Star Trek).
For life to survive and thrive here we need to get that we are all part of one natural world.

Without our fresh air, water, seas, fertile soils, forests, animals and plants we humans couldn't survive. Every thing, even the tiniest of bugs, has a role to play, including us.
Everything is connected - from deepest ocean to outer space- and what we do does make a difference.
