From the pages of “You and the Earth”

Before the smoke. Before the floods. Before the plastics ending up inside the drainage and the heat making it hard to breathe. The earth was beautiful.

You and the Earth begins with a powerful reminder of the planet’s natural beauty. Not a beauty defined by skyscrapers or WiFi signals, but by trees dancing in the cool breeze ,clean rivers flowing through valleys, animals wandering freely, and air so fresh that you could feel it hug your lungs.

This was the earth we inherited; A perfect balance of land, water, and sky. A home. A gift.

In just a few pages, Chapter One takes us back to when nature wasn’t something we feared, fixed, or fought against. It sets the tone of the book by reminding us of what is at stake.

It is not just about “climate change.” It is about what we stand to lose and what we still have a chance to protect.

Using relatable examples from everyday life in African communities, the chapter paints a picture many of us grew up with:

• Rainfall that came when it was expected.
• Fruits that tasted fresh from the tree.
• Breezes that cooled, not angry and burning red.
• Farms that flourished, not struggled to grow crops.

But now, that “beautiful beginning” is fading.

Oh the beautiful thing is……

This chapter doesn’t blame. It doesn’t scare. It simply invites you to remember.

To pause, reflect and even ask: What happened to the earth I knew as a child? Where did we start losing the balance?

As you read, you begin to feel a sense of connection. A stirring. A quiet call to action. Because to save the Earth, we must first remember how beautiful it truly was and still can be.
