All that we love, share, enjoy, and experience on this plane of existence is made possible because of the home we live on (Earth). There is only one Earth, hence, there is only one home for us. This is not an unlimited, non-scarable, non-living entity.

Without mincing words, there are those among us that are killing our home. They are depleting her of her resources, vitality, and beauty just as we humans can be depleted of these same things (so we should be able to relate). We are all energy systems and we are gobbling up the sap of life from our precious host. Living here is a gift and a responsibility, not a right.

We have to look at the people in power and do what we possibly can to stop their on-ward march towards human extinction through the destruction of our planet. We cannot be so nieve as to not think we are not intricately tied into the health of this system for we are. If there is no healthy Earth, there will be none of us.

The “shock and awe” tactic of this current administration is working because it has us so distracted that we don’t see what is happening right under our own nose. Over a million species are facing extinction in the near future, our air is dirty, our oceans polluted, the weather becoming more unstable, and our wean-able dependency on oil is causing more filth and war.

So let’s pay attention, question and communicate to others the best we can and show that we do care and that we aren’t just barely conscious sheep being herded around by our leaders. Remember, our government is for the people, not to control the people!
