Beside her emerges the richness of the earth: leafy trees, luminous flowers, birds, and animals that speak to us of the beauty of the natural world we must protect.
Above the sea, a watchful mermaid and the god Neptune remind us that the oceans are a source of life we must respect.
It is a cry of alarm about the danger of losing what we have and a meditation that encourages us to find a sustainable future. "

Lets meditate
Where are we going? What kind of world are we leaving behind? Will we regret it?
It is necessary to meditate, to stop for a moment and breathe, and to gain perspective to think about how we can change the future.
Meditation is necessary to understand the direction of the Earth and to become aware of the magnitude of the problems of our era.

This machine-operated kitchen, how fantastic! There will be no more haute cuisine and we'll all be pooping plastic!
In the new restaurants, the digitally printed menu, ribeye steak, and roast chicken will all be fake, nothing natural!

Future generations will have a dark life, and they will suffer greatly in the world they will inherit.
The colors of diversity and a world in harmony will be extinguished, without light or joy.

A new era will arrive, where the robot will control the human, and we'll go back to the mop and the broom, and we'll all go to hell!
Working in automatic mode, we'll clean the houses of robots. What a dramatic end for humans... for being so stupid!

We have robot-dependence-AI, so much screen time will make us stupid, let's stop using AI and give more to the head!
Conga, Rumba and Mambo, they're up to their balls cleaning, any day now they'll transform into Rambo, and with a snap of their fingers they'll send us to hell.

King Triton is the ruler who, from atop a wave, looks down upon his giant kingdom beneath his crown.
And sharks and mermaids, corals and small fish ride the waves under plastics and nets.

With so much pollution, the weather is changing, and the animals, with no choice, are losing their homes.
