No one seemed to care last year. And not much has gotten better this year.
I mean honestly - at this point in life, shouldn't every fucking day be Earth Day?
Here's a view I agree with - http://www.thenation.com/blog/179375/let-earth-day-be-last -
" ... to willfully obstruct any serious response to global warming is to knowingly allow entire countries and cultures to disappear. It is to rob the poorest and most vulnerable people on the planet of their land, their homes, their livelihoods, even their lives and their children’s lives—and their children’s children’s lives. For money. For political power.
These are crimes. They are crimes against the Earth, and they are crimes against humanity."
And let's be very clear - this is about our very collective future as both a species, and as habitants of this planet -
"What I’m talking about is both a fight for survival and a fight for justice—for even the possibility of justice. It’s a fight that transcends environmentalism. It requires something of us beyond the usual politics and proposals, the usual pieties. It requires the kind of commitment you find in radical movements—the kind of struggles, from abolition to women’s, labor and civil rights, that have made possible what was previously unimaginable."
