Growing up on our green farm rich in black, fertile soil and free water, I used to believe the world would stay that way forever. Viridity is bliss. Now rainforests, coral reefs, wildlife are disappearing and CO2 levels in our atmosphere are irreversibly rising. Increasingly I become convinced that the powers that be, motivated by greed, are hellbent on destroying our home, Mama Earth, through slow suicide (catastrophic climate change) or fast suicide (nuclear warfare).
Thankfully, young people are leading the struggle to save our planet and ourselves. College students are demanding divestment from fossil fuel multi-national corporations who are frakking, drilling, and burning us into extinction. They organized voter registration, fundraising and social media for socialist US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Most importantly, our youth are saying YES to peace. “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend.” Lalu Prasad Yadav
“Free Mama Earth! She gave you birth and what you do to Earth you do to you…”
One Love…
