“We are so disconnected from nature. If we could just experience that we are part of nature, maybe the abuse of our Mother Earth would stop, because what hurts her, hurts us. So besides the outer activism we need to work on an inner activism to become ourselves.”

“Julian Brave Noisecat said this, “Climate action can’t be separated from social justice. Elites who divorce climate policy from social justice are almost as out of touch as those who deny climate science altogether.””

I will fight for you. I will Act. The affects of Climate change aren’t years away.
Climate change is happening today.”

“Maybe the climate-crisis is our perfect challenge at the perfect time? To survive, we need to come home to each other, to ourselves, and to Mother Nature. Perhaps it is the earth itself calling us home. Calling us to heal, and in doing so, to be healed… We should be running to this opportunity, not away from it.”

“The five warmest years since 1880 have all occurred since 2015. There is currently the highest concentration of CO2 in the earth’s atmosphere in human history. Floods, fires, hurricanes, drought, famine... all real, all getting worse as a result of climate change. It’s not too late, but it’s getting close. If you have children, or if you just want to see the human race survive, please take this seriously. “

“Our home gives us life. The least we can do is treat her with respect and care for her the way we wish to be cared for. Little acts of awareness can change our future. What’s stopping you?”

“We need to wake op to the fact that nature is not something “outside over there” to be exploited for our myth of endless material progress. Nature is us - the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. We’re completely interdependent with our environment. I think if we really lived that truth, climate destruction would become impossible”.

“My sister was bitten by a tick a couple years ago, that has moved north as the United States gets warmer. After developing Alpha-Gal Syndrome from the tick bite , she has gone to the emergency room 10 times in the past year, and has to carry 2 EPI pens, because one EPI pen often isn’t enough to save her.”

“Taking action to address our climate emergency isn't a luxury. It isn't something we can wait to get around to when we have the time. Most of us are doing something to reduce our carbon footprint, but all of us have to do much more to demand that our governments, corporations, workplaces, and cultures stop killing us. A warming climate impacts the poor and people of color most. As we address systemic racial injustice, we must embed that within an overall approach toward eliminating our unsustainable societal habits and establishing healing practices for our entire ecology.”

Why would we want to fill the air with smoke? Why do we wish to destroy ourselves? Why would we place scars on the face of the great mother the earth? I replied: “To make money.” He replied, “There will be no place to spend it."

“I'm in LA. It's 108 degrees. I'll say that again, it's 108 degrees. That's cooler than last month. At the weekend it will be back at an average 110 degrees. The temperatures this summer have been the hottest on record. There have been more fires than on record, with people evacuating their homes, or watching them burn, in a new state of emergency. The week before there was a tropical storm that hit US shores with storm surges that also broke records. The week before that, a tornadeo in New York broke all records. All over the world, heatwaves, droughts, typhoons, and hurricanes are causing mass destruction around the world. Distasters like this have always been part of the world we know, but they are becoming more frequent and more intense. These changes in the climate... are well.... climate change. There's nothing not to believe.”

“We don’t have to save the planet. That’s bullshit. She could shake us off at any time. Who are we to her? At best, we are merely stewards on borrowed time. We owe it to each other to hold our place with her, and be worthy of our time.”
