In A World Where Profit Is Consistently

It Is Our Great Collective Misfortune That The Scientific Community Made Its Decisive Diagnosis Of The Climate Threat At The Precise Moment When An Elite Minority Was Enjoying More Unfettered Political, Cultural, And Intellectual Power Than At Any Point Since The 1920s.

We Live In This Culture Of Endless Extraction And Disposal: Extraction From The Earth, Extraction From People's Bodies, From Communities, As If There's No Limit, As If There's No Consequence To How We're Taking And Disposing, And As If It Can Go On Endlessly. We Are Reaching The Breaking Point On Multiple Levels. Communities Are Breaking, The Planet Is Breaking, People's Bodies Are Breaking. We Are Taking Too Much.

We Can Save Ourselves, But Only If We Let Go Of The Myth Of Dominance And Mastery And Learn To Work With Nature.

Africa Is Poor Because Its Investors And Its Creditors Are Unspeakably Rich.

Hope Has Never Trickled Down, It Has Always Sprung Up.
