Into a New Era

Compelled by the notion that we're entering an ENTIRELY new era--the "Anthropocene Era," as coined by renowned naturalist, David Attenborough--I explore the implications that Humankind has become the predominant force on Planet Earth. What does this mean for each and every one of us? Where are we headed? Indeed, how do we remake ourselves for the sake of our life here on Earth, and all the precious creatures in our midst. For a clue, I share the story of a 7 year-old student--Katinka--a little girl who expresses her delight through music. This inspired episode ends with Katinka's piece, "The Ladybird Song."
