Dave Courchene's dream conveys a Grandfather's urgent message: profound Earth changes are imminent. Humanity must prepare for a simple, spiritual life, detached from technology that harms the land. He observes current global conditions reflect an unsustainable path of selfishness and greed, necessitating a fundamental shift towards kindness, compassion, and sharing for a "New Life."

Indigenous peoples, faithful to original instructions of love and care for Earth, are called to lead this transformation. Their wisdom centers on the Seven Sacred Laws—Respect, Love, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility, and Truth—each exemplified by an animal. Living these laws on Turtle Island is vital for peace, freedom, and universal alignment, offering a vision of hope for humanity.

A new NASA study reveals significant global declines in microscopic ocean plant-life, or phytoplankton, which form the base of the marine food chain. This research is the first to analyze long-term phytoplankton community trends using NASA satellite data.

Diatoms, the largest type of phytoplankton, decreased over 1% annually from 1998 to 2012, particularly in the North Pacific, North Indian, and Equatorial Indian oceans. This reduction could impact the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide absorbed and stored in the deep ocean. Dr. Cecile Rousseaux is featured.
