Saving the environment through music is more than a slogan to me, it’s my passion. When you’re passionate about something, you want it just as much as you want breath. “Free Mama Earth” lets me simultaneously pursue my passion for music and saving the environment. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/free-mama-earth/x/10024608
The gritty video of me on the beach by a 20th century polluting power station symbolizes how environmentalists talk about the dangers of climate change, but people don’t hear. Climate change and destruction of our environment poll at the bottom of folks’ concerns, but not because they don’t care. Families are trying to pay bills in this survival of the fittest, wild wild west world and issues like the economy trump everything else. The thing is, if we develop more 21st century clean, renewable energy like wind and sun & wean ourselves off fossil fuels, we can create new jobs and at the same time help stop climate change.
Climate change is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels (gas, oil, coal) which results in carbon dioxide CO2 (heat trapping gas) into the atmosphere. Another cause is worldwide deforestation (cutting down all the trees in forests). Trees absorb carbon dioxide.
Some claim that climate change is not real, but climate change, like gravity, exists whether you believe in it or not. The consequences of climate change (melting glaciers, severe droughts, fires, floods, hurricanes, disease, extinction of animals, environmental refugees, etc.) are already happening and will get worse if we do not develop 21st century clean, renewable energy and stop deforestation.
I’m going to leave you with the wise words of Pope Francis: “Safeguard Creation…For if we destroy Creation, Creation will destroy us!”
One Love,
