Calling the Earthlings
This is really important to me. This time last year I had the worst panic attack of my life. I'd sat on the edge of the sea and thought, "I failed you. You gave me everything and I did nothing to protect you." It devolved quickly into nearly six hours of sobbing, hyperventilating, and pure panic. After that, I started picking up trash, for hours on end. I didn't eat meat, I didn't buy clothes, I didn't drive cars.... A lot of the anxiety died down and while I still occasionally pick up trash, I now eat meat and I'll get in a car if need be. But the feeling that I could do more, and the feeling of fear is still wrought in every thought. So this challenge is part of an art project I'm doing to sort of communicate these thoughts- thoughts I know are shared by so many people. Show me how you feel about the environment in any format, and then comment at the bottom whether or not you'd be okay with me using your words, and if I could credit you in any way. Thank you so much!

Cycles

My take on this challenge:

In Native American culture we believe that all life is connected. From the rocks to the trees to the dirt and the seas. Life on earth is cyclical meaning everything has a space of time to impart its wisdom and energy to those who listen.

The connection thing is a prove fact now.

Its humanity who needs to take responsibility individually for their actions.

Don’t want more plastics washing up on beaches? Then change the way you shop. Don’t want more crap ending up in landfills? Change what you buy, compost, garden, recycle and by that I mean stuff that you can reuse for something else.

Im a farm girl, organic. We did stuff on the farm with our animals that didn’t require harsh chemicals, so very simple basic habits.

Its been shown the earth will repair herself to a point.

Humanity has to understand that some things like Chernobyl, is irreparable.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
