Fun fact. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old.
Mankind? About one hundred and forty thousand years old.
Let me put that in perspective.
If you condense the Earth's life span into 24 hours, that's one full day,
that we have been here on this planet for
Drumroll please
three seconds.
Three seconds, and look what we've done.
We have modestly named ourselves homo sapiens meaning wise man, but is man really so wise? smart? Yes
And it's good to be smart but not too smart
For your own good
Yes, we have split the atom. Yes, we build clever machines that navigate the universe in search of new homes
But at the same time those atoms we split create a nuclear warfare. In our quest to explore the Galaxy
rejects and neglects the home that we have here now so no.
That cannot be wisdom
Wisdom is different. While intelligence speaks wisdom listens
And we willingly covered our ears to mother nature screams and closed our eyes to all of her help wanted signs
Wisdom knows that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so if we were wise we would not be shocked
We see storms that are stronger than ever before or more droughts, hurricanes
And wildfire than ever before because there's more pollution than ever before. More carbon, more trees cut down than ever before
at a record pace we have increased the extinction of animals by
1,000 times the normal rate. What a feat. In the next 10 [to] 100 years
Every beloved animal character in every children's book is predicted to go extinct. lions? gone.
Rhinos? Gone. Tigers, gorillas Elephants, Polar Bears? Gone, in 3 seconds.
species [that] have been here longer than us will be gone because of us in this 3
Seconds and in existence shorter than a vine video we turn the circle of life into our own personal conveyor belt
Somebody anybody help we were given so much the only planet in this solar system with life
I mean, we are one in a million. No actually scientifically. We are one in a billion Trillion trillion
That's a one followed by 33 zeroes, and I don't want to get too spiritual, but how are we [not] a miracle?
We are perfectly positioned to the sun so we don't burn but not too distant so we don't turn to ice
Goldilocks [said] it best
We are just like this paradise where we are [giving] medicine from trees not coincidentally?
But because like the song says we are family
Literally everything every species is connected genetically from the sunflower to the sunfish
And this is what we must recognize before it's too late [because] the real crisis is not global warming
Environmental destruction or animal agriculture it is us these problems are symptoms of us
by-products of us. our inner reflection. lost of connection that's created this mis-direction
We have forgotten that everything contributes to the perfection of mother nature corporations keep us unaware and disconnected
But they have underestimated our strength contrary to popular belief
Millions are waking up out of their sleep. We sing our home being taken right up under our feet
We cannot allow a history to be written by the wicked greedy and loony it is our duty to protect
Mother Nature from those who refuse to see her beauty call me crazy, but I believe we should have the right to eat food
That's safe with ingredients
We can pronounce drink water that is clean marvel at trees breathe air free of toxins these are natural rights
Not things that can be bargained for in congress see they want you to feel powerless
But it has been said [that] something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can cause the typhoon halfway around the world
Well when enough people come together we too will make waves and watch the world into a new era filled with love and connection
Freedom for all without oppression, [but] it is up to you
Yes
You're watching this behind this screen to make the effort
Because time is of [the] essence and only together can we make it to the fourth
second
We can no longer rely on those who have polluted our air water and sea for a solution
There will be no ironman coming with a super technological fix to save the world
In fact we cannot save the world, but we can recreate the world. We must do something about our trees
Trees are so important to this planet destroying them is causing more than 7 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions [each] year
If we don't stop the destruction of the world's forests we will not be able to solve climate change
Period for the past year I've been supporting stanford trees a platform that puts the power of change back into the hands of the people
They allow you to take
responsibility for your carbon footprint and directly protect the threatened Forest Forest communities and wildlife of the world if
millions of us support Stanford Trees right now
we could actually do something about climate change and
Environmental Destruction only through the collective actions of us all will we have a future full of forests
Forests that are full of life and a planet that is full of harmony
Please join me and go to Stanford trees.org to save a forest and to save our future
you
we need to protect this world
