What if the Earth could ask us its most pressing questions? What would it say about how we live, the choices we make, and the future we leave behind?

WWF say: ‘We are what we leave behind.’

That’s the idea behind 24 Questions to Save the World.

In the movies, the hero gets 24 hours to save someone – or something. Here, we have 24 questions to save the world.

This is more than a series of blog posts. It’s an open invitation to you.

Over the next 24 weeks, we’ll tackle one question at a time. These questions are designed to challenge us to stop, think, and (fingers crossed) take action. These aren’t easy questions. They’re not meant to be. They might guide us back to what matters most. It’s important to find our way before our time runs out.

These questions are for everyone. They are for parents worried about their children’s future. They are also for those who’ve wondered if it’s too late. Lastly, they are for anyone who’s ever felt powerless in the face of global challenges.

They’re not about blame. They’re about belonging.

We’ll start with the basics: What does the Earth give you that you cannot live without? From there, we’ll dive deeper. We will explore what it means to thrive. We will learn to protect. We will take responsibility for the world we call home.

I’m not a scientist. I’m just a parent with three children that will – I pray – live long and healthy lives. But they’ll inherit the mess previous generations have created. That’s why this matters to me.

Each week, I’ll release a new question. Each one is designed to make us pause, reflect, and ask: What role do I play? What more can I do?

Are you in?

I hope so.

This project isn’t about offering easy answers – it’s about starting the conversation. Because if we don’t ask these questions now, when will we? Do we leave our children and grandchildren to face the future we shaped without a single guiding word?

So, join us. Let’s face the tough questions together. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll find the answers we need to save the world.

Our first question launches this Wednesday at 10 AM: What Does the Earth Give You That You Cannot Live Without?

Let’s explore, reflect and act – together.
