What Will Inspire You to Take Action? 5 Earth Day Photos You Should See
http://www.alternet.org/environment/what-will-inspire-you-take-action-5-earth-day-photos-you-should-see
when I first read Deep Green Resistance by Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith and Aric McBay Ive been haunted by a question Jensen posed in the books preface.
He asks, Where is your threshold for resistance?
He goes on to write that 90 percent of the large fish in our oceans are gone. At what point do you get angry and fight back? Is it 91 percent? 92? 93? 94? Would you wait till they killed off 95 percent? 96? 97? 98? 99? he writes. How about 100 percent? Would you fight back then?
The question doesnt just pertain to fish. There is 10 times as much plastic as phytoplankton in the oceans, 97 percent of native forests are destroyed, 98 percent of native grasslands are destroyed, amphibian populations are collapsing, and so on, he writes. Two hundred species are driven extinct each and every day.
*** the photos are in the article -- i didn't want to separate them from their narratives.
