What a brilliant idea! It would be wonderful to slow down and enjoy a gentler pace of life. Unfortunately, not everyone would think in the same way, and that would lead to some real problems. We all need to be thinking about how we live and what we do and try to find ways to minimise the effect we have on the planet. Young people have a very important part to play in this – you can educate your parents and older people by setting a good example. Actions speak louder than words.
