“The earth is you. You are the earth. When you realize there is no separation, you fall completely in love with this beautiful planet.”

~Thich Nhat Hanh

individually & collectively we have seen the Earth & her resources as something to consume & use for what we view as our own needs as if we are separate from her. we often do the same with other people. it is a consumer mentality, a short term thinking & insatiable appetite (never having enough – the root of colonialism as well), that puts ourselves at the center of life rather than interdependent with all life. in doing so, without contemplating long term consequences, we have brought an end to some species & set the stage for the end of our own. thus far, the Earth has been able to support our overuse & abuse, but we are seeing her limits & the consequences. the bill has come due.

when we see the Earth as part of ourselves, when we are aware there is no separation in Life, we are seeing with the eyes of Love. when we see with the eyes of Love, our relationship to the Earth & to each other changes to one of beneficial healing & transformation. there is still time to avert the most dire consequences if action is taken now. we need proper science based, aware leadership to lead policy to make this happen.

please vote with this in mind.
