From the series: No One Lives Here Anymore
We
need to stop mass consumption. We need to eliminate plastic from our packaging.
We need to consider our children’s future, and their children’s. We cannot
continue to live as if we have endless resources. We know that each year more
animals become extinct. We wonder why bears are in our backyards, when in fact
it is their homes we are encroaching in on. The fish we eat are being poisoned by us, as are our vegetables we grow. We are poisoning our waterways, our oceans. We are simply killing
ourselves off.
Where is our humanity? Our politicians do not care; they are mostly controlled by greed. Take all you can get, victims are an inevitability. Who are the watchdogs, where is the moral fiber?
Can
we save ourselves? It is up to the next generation to put their foot down and
demand that big businesses take responsibility for their greed. For taking over
our waterways, to sell bottled water back to us, which should be watering crops down the
river. For cheating the people who invest in mortgages, insurance, and end of
life care. Where is the compassion, the decency? Does tuition need to be so expensive? Student loans so unforgiving?
What
is our survival plan? Just keep on breathing, until it is no longer safe to take your next breathe.
Or...
Live in harmony with nature...
