Society throws so many ideas at us. We are bombarded with information. As if there were not enough problems for individuals to deal with in their daily life, we also must sift through the overload of material given to us.
Some people are concerned about where their next meal will come from. Other people are concerned about the crack on their smart-phone screen. The inequality in America and even around the world is devastating.
The planet we live on is in trouble. People turn a blinds eye while other people truly cannot see because of the cloud of polluted air that surrounds them. As they suffocate and die in a toxic environment, people of power breathe clean air.
Politics will tell us the climate change is fiction while scientists show us facts, but to whom do we listen?
Sea levels are rising. Coastal floods are increasing. The data is out there. The consequences are felt.
Humankind suffers from diminishing health because of climate change and pollution. Cancer. Asthma. Heart disease. Stroke. Mental health issues. Stress related disorders. Human development problems. Have all increased as humans continue to abuse the Earth.
The Earth is dying! It is our only home. For some odd reason, we treat it like garbage and decide to ignore its cries for rest. We suck up resources and leave lands barren. We bulldoze and plunder all of Earth’s treasures.
Environmental degradation is our legacy to the future generations.
Ignorance is bliss. People who try to show us the TRUTH get silenced. Their data is messed with. The words “climate change” crossed out. People of power do not want us to see it, but the truth does leak out.
The businessman who gains power from Earth’s demise does not realize the fragile throne he sits on will not be his when he dies. The Earth cannot sustain our consumption rampage.
We need to be resourceful. We need to remember the days of our ancestors who cherished the Earth. We need to stay connected to nature to live an authentic existence.
The TRUTH is out there. I want to make a difference. I want to see change. My voice alone may not be loud, but united with those who care about the Earth, we can be LOUDER than all the polluted noise.
