The weather has been very strange recently, both in Japan and in many
other parts of the world. Here in Japan there has been extremely heavy
rain, and more than a dozen people have died as a result. Meanwhile, in
parts of Africa, India and Australia, there has been no rain, or very
little rain, for several years, and farmers cannot grow food or keep
animals in these areas. In Africa, thousands of people have been
forced to leave their homes because of the lack of rain and food.
This abnormal weather leads us to ask two important questions. Firstly,
what are we human beings doing wrong? Secondly, what can we do to bring
our lives back into harmony with nature and this planet?
