As we embark on a new working week, it's easy to forget we are on a 2.4 quintillion ton lump of rock, hurtling through space at 67,000 mph, orbiting around a star 109 times the size of Earth, in a solar system made up of eight other planets. This solar system resides within a swirling disc of hundreds of billions of other Sun-like stars, which make up the Milky Way galaxy, one galaxy in amongst billions of other galaxies.

And this lump of rock is very special indeed. It's the only place in the known universe that, as far as we know, harbors life which can reflect on a post such as this, and nurtures such vast diversity – from towering redwoods to bioluminescent creatures in the deepest oceans.

Our Earth is incredibly special. Not only for its mind-boggling place in the cosmos, but also for its delicate biosphere that sustains us. We should protect and treat it with the utmost care, for a healthy planet is not just a responsibility, it's the foundation for a thriving future.

Happy Earth Day 🌍
