We share common root
The letter about climate change from Richard Camp, October 6, emphasises the serious consideration which should be given to carbon emissions. If governments take the early action needed, telling us what we must do, and it feels like a police state at first, so be it; I have friends with children and grandchildren.
Mr Camp quoted: "We do not inherit the world from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children".
Just half hour previously I had paused between tasks to dip into a book, In

"Whatever happens to the beast also happens to man," it said. "All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth."
I wonder if this is from the same speech? There were many wise words from native American Indians. Their Great Spirit may be a different God, but as grandfather David Monongye said: "We share a common root and the root is Mother Earth.
