When one tugs at a single thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world.” John Muir ⚡️ Whether by accident or on purpose, the fires that are raging through the Amazon are illegally caused by humans, mostly to clear land for livestock. It’s easy to brush off certain issues that may feel far from home. It’s easy to take no action because we might question our ability to make an impact anyway. It’s easy to place responsibility elsewhere but the truth is that we are all responsible. We are ALL responsible for the messes we’ve created and we all have to do our part in the healing of our planet. ⚡️ I’m seeing all these #prayforamazonia hashtags but that just seems like spiritual bypassing to me. Yes, pray, and then take some sort of action! Start small and gather your strength! Let’s be more conscious about how we recycle. If you’re a meat-eater, try removing it from one or two meals a week. Join a weekly or monthly park clean up. It’s 2019, use a canteen! I joined the @sierraclub last week and I’m a stickler for #leavenotrace. Don’t let me see you drop a candy wrapper... anywhere. It requires courage to take action, sometimes it takes courage just to speak up. We have to hold each other accountable #humanheroes.
