I am so excited!!! 💚 My first book in Japanese! 🔴 Can’t wait to hold it in my hands. It is a little smaller than the English and Spanish versions, very cute, and I have made some Japanese lettering for it. So much fun! 🔷 bnn.co.jp/products/978...

We strive to achieve significant milestones towards planetarity as a frame of action, influencing public policy, creating a governance framework for complex ecosystems, and building a planetary civics alliance for a new knowledge economy and more regenerative futures www.planetarycivics.net/launch

As an alternative, I am teaching all subjects mentioned in the book on www.flexiblevisualsytems.info
