Why This?

It comes up often in conversation...Why the environment? You can't save the world..It won't be in your life time anyways..so why even care? I suppose people do what I do because they have yet to lose hope in how things could be. We (humans) have come such a far way and yet haven't begun to switch into the next technological revolution. We are stuck in outdated forms of production although evidence clearly shows the detrimental affect of these processes. But of course people continue to choose monetary status over living, breathing and thinking organisms. We are a miracle planet that was able to evolve into beautiful ecosystems all depending on one another for survival...

I believe environmentalists know that our information is spreading. We continue to learn and teach others of what they can do to positively impact the earth. In this way i feel content knowing that im dedicating my life to the solution of a world that will need help. Enough of us exist so that when things DO begin to go badly on earth they'll know who to turn to. Hopefully by then it won't be too late..

I'm tired of the apathy i've experienced in my generation.. No one asks questions anymore. The "news" media tells us what we need to know and we take it for truth..even though corporations own more than 50% of all of it.. If you haven't checked out the documentary "The Weather Underground" please do so. It basically talks about a whole movement of people in the 70's who actually tried to change what our country was doing. The people involved were all smart, educated college kids who didn't believe war was the answer for Vietnam. You definitely won't ever hear about it in school but they worked along side the black panthers and other revolutionary groups of that time.

I'm helping with getting the word out for a movie called Battle in Seattle and i must say it was completely gripping. A perfect piece of yesteryear (1999) that won't ever make it into history books. It was a true demonstration of the peoples' right to assemble and freedom of thought and speech. Sadly, it is also a reminder of what a tight grip our government keeps us in. Your freedom is given to you in small increments so long as it doesn't cross someone with fiscal power. 

Go see it in september. You wont be disappointed.
