I attended UAL’s Earth Day, and quite frankly I am so sick and tired of hearing about recycling. I honestly don’t care any more. It even makes me angry. To see so many people who supposedly ‘get it’ – young, creative, passionate, talented people, channelling their own energy, and others’ into small individual actions, that literally won’t save the world. I was even frustrated to encounter so much environmentalism. If you actually care about the planet, about protecting it and saving it, you should care about debt, you should care about finance, about colonialism, capitalism, racism, war. I know it’s not fun, or pleasant, and yes there’s a role for community gardens to play, but not as an escape, otherwise you distract people’s energy from the real fight.
