Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last river has been poisoned
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten…
All around us is evidence of this terrible American Indian prophecy becoming true, as our rivers become more and more filthy, we destroy our beautiful grasslands to grow trees for paper, our forests are invaded by slash and burn farmers who decimate the land.
No farmer would ever allow overstocking on his lands, but we have already overstocked and overconsumed our earth’s carrying capacity, and who dares to stop us?
Except Earth herself, when she has had enough of us: – we will die of disease as we become resistant to antibiotics, starve as we destroy our soil, kill our seas with oil and sewerage and plastic.
Do you really want to wait until earth gets rid of you? or do you want to start now and quickly, to make some changes?
Most people now live in cities, with no concept of water shortages, polluted rivers, droughts, -you throw away your rubbish with no idea of what ‘away’ means. Until the day you turn on your tap and there is no water – how long would it take without being able to flush your toilet before you were sorry you didnt take more care of our water resources?
