“My homeland of Brazil boasts not only an incredible culture but the responsibility of housing the majority of the “lungs of the earth”. It’s devastating to see how quickly the Amazon Rainforest is being destroyed. At this rate by 2030 more than a quarter of the Amazon biome will be without trees. Why is that so devastating? Here are four out of many reasons:
1. Nearly half of the worlds animal species live there and would be destroyed.
2. Many of the drugs we use today to treat diseases like Glaucoma, Leukemia, heart disease among many others come from plants in the Amazon. 70% of them help fight cancer.
3. Our air quality will drop significantly. Right now the rainforest stores carbon dioxide and recycles it into oxygen we can breathe.
4. 30 million indigenous people take shelter there and would be displaced.”

“I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I feel like Einstein was a lot smarter than me and so was Fermi and Currie and Newton. If you don’t believe in science ..because “science is based on theory and theory is just that, theory“ - then maybe you shouldn’t use basically everything that you use (cars, toothpaste, computers, medicine, electricity) because apparently it doesn’t exist or shouldn’t or couldn’t because all was originated through theory and hypothesis...97% of the scientists who study our climate basically all agree on the theory of climate change and that climate change is a big problem for our future, if we don’t do something... now.
I’m going to give way to the people that are smarter than me , call me crazy.”

“Recently I came home to Australia for the first time since the enormous wild fires of 2019. Standing in the mountains you would normally see thick and lush forests all around, now all I saw for miles and miles were the blackened tree trunks of the Blue Mountain Ash and melted glass. The Co2 produced by these wild fires was equal half our emissions for the year here in Australia - Almost 200m Tonnes. These wild fires demonstrated to the developed world at large the immense perils we are in due to Climate Change. It highlighted the reality that it is not just island nations, or people in foreign lands who will be affected by this, we cannot disassociate from this, we are all in this together and it affects us all.”

Using the earth as our personal ATM has robbed us of a life free of increased natural disasters, toxic air, contaminated water, food insecurity, and countless other terrifying symptoms.

"Like most parents, we spend a lot of time thinking about the future. We want our 4 kids to understand that everything we do to has an impact on the environment, and that we have to start with ourselves and change what we can to create a sustainable future for the planet, so that, when we are gone, they won't curse our names too much. This pandemic should serve a s a global wake up call: We are all one species. We are all vulnerable to a tiny virus, we are all likewise vulnerable to the ravages of climate change. We remain hopeful, because good people like you are willing to advocate for positive change right now. “
