I just started this blog. I don't have many followers, but I'm begging you - if you see this, pay attention.
Our planet is dying. Germany is flooding, Turkey is on fire, extreme heat has killed hundreds (possibly thousands), there are droughts everywhere we haven't seen in centuries.
Between 1990 and 2016 the world lost 502,000 sq miles of forest. Over the past 50 years 17% of the Amazon rainforest has been completely eradicated and that percentage is on the rise. 30% of the tropical rainforest is in a state of degradation, 34% no longer exists, and 36% is what we're left with.
8.3 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year. Thats more plastic than fish. 70 percent of that sinks (15 floats, 15 washes up on beaches), destroying the oceanic floor. There are 403 known "dead spots" where the habitat is no longer sustainable for marine life.
Just days ago, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk went to space. Jeff put 300 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere using what media outlets referred to as "relatively clean fuel." He then claimed (paraphrased) that seeing Earth from space convinced him to dedicate time toward battling climate change and greenhouse gases. Bezos has promised 10 billion towards the cause. His net worth is 192.4 billion. Elon Musk is offering a $10 million prize for "economically scalable ideas to capture and sequester carbon dioxide." Musk's net worth is 179.4 billion. A news website known as SpaceNews tells us he's focusing on turning CO2 into a product (SpaceNews advocates for EM, they clearly have a bias towards expanding Musk rather than simply reporting).
I'm sure most of you have seen the post and/or news article where statistics claim it would take $20 billion to end homelessness. With poverty on the rise, its now estimated from 20-30 billion (still just as manageable, billionaires would make that much back in <a few years). Official guesses put the cost to end world hunger at anywhere from $7 to $265 billion.
If you need it to survive, you should not have to pay. Food, water, shelter. These are not luxuries. We have been taught that they are.
REMEMBER THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU HAVE PARTICIPATED BUT IT IS THE SELLERS, NOT THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITIES. YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO PAY ATTENTION AND CHANGE THIS, BUT YOU DID NOT START IT.
What can you do?
- Boycott what you can. Amazon. Most of those objects you want off there are from small businesses. Find the website and order through them, or better yet, shop local. Don't buy from Shein, Nestle, etc. They force people to work for little to no payment and demonstrate the use of child labor. Nestle destroys and steals land.
- Watch what you wear. Up to 85% of materials that wash up in beaches are synthesized fibers, which come from non-biodegradable clothing. Try for cotton, wool, etc. For those of you with skin reactions or allergies, go on buying the synthesized.
- Call your senators, write to the president, email parliament. Tell them to help fix this or shove a stick up their ass. Your choice.
- Attend rallies.
- Read up, study, learn all you can.
SPEAK UP AND SPEAK LOUD
If you don't do something, this planet is done for. It is not to late. Join climate activism and use your damn voice. If they don't listen to us, people will eventually take things into their own hands. We need a complete system and societal reevaluation. Do what you can while you can.

If I seem to quiet I’m sorry but I am trying to breath. I have tears threatening to brurn streams into my cheeks, demons scratching in the back of my mind and anxiety that is drowning me from the inside. I’m sorry if I can not be the person you once knew. If there was another way to make it to 2021 with my head above water I would be her again. But this is not a generation for the vulnerable or the kind or the gentle.
