Soil Not Oil

THE CLIMATE CRISIS is at its roots a consequence of human beings having gone astray from the ecological path of living with justice and sustainability. It is a consequence of forgetting that we are earth citizens. It is acting like we are kids in a supermarket with limitless appetites for consumption and falsely imagining that the corporations that stock the supermarkets have unlimited energy warehouses. The real problem is the conflict between the economic laws that have reduced the planet and society to a supermarket where everything is for sale and the ecological laws that maintain the planet’s ecological functions and social laws that distribute nature’s goods and services equitably. The real problem is a global economy that has created a planetary ecological imbalance.
