Hey everyone, This is a reminder to not lose hope. We know how draining it can be to navigate comments on social media. It can often feel like the world is full of negativity and hopelessness. However, we're here to remind you that this isn't the full picture of reality. There are countless positive things happening in the world every day, with many working on enabling the shift we need towards sustainable futures.   It's important to recognize that polarising and provocative comment sections hinder our ability to find common solutions for global problems. While we must acknowledge the seriousness of the challenges we face, we also need to approach these issues with constructive hope and a positive mindset if we want to build sustainable futures.   Remember, many people are actively seeking solutions and striving to make a difference. Our comments don't fully capture the complexity and the numerous positive facets of humanity. Let's dare to challenge the status quo and look towards the future with optimism. Together, we can make a difference.   With Hope.   The Beyond Lab Team

“If there is light in the soul, There will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, There will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world.” — a Chinese proverb / Anon

The brightest light that can shine is the light within all of us to truly foster peace and sustainable development!! The external light that we develop is just a tool that should bring out the light that is already in us to make our world a better place....yet, that is not happening for many. 🙏🙏

Shut off all lights we don't really need during daylight but also and above all, during the night. All the fauna and flora will recover its balance and the starry will show you all its magnificent
