Thanks to those who read "In the tiger restaurant..." yesterday. The dream? A few people wrote to me about it, I don't know, it is what it is.
Imagine some action. If seven billion trees were planted a month, one for every person on the planet, there'd be 420 billion more trees in five years. Of course it'd have to be done properly, the right trees (giant or grass) in the right places but we have the knowledge. We have the resources too, it's just that we spend them on wars and things. Environmentalists hate wars because wars fuck things up.
We could create and rejuvenate jungles. There is no flag waving in jungles, and we could change the cowards, on both sides of this philosophical divide, killing innocents in all these wars. We could educate these people, bring them back to earth with a shovel and a sapling, we could even convince people they don't need a huge house. There are many things we could do.
We could say to this burgeoning outrage culture which calls themselves activists to take some real action. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against activism, it's hugely important, it's just that it's gone too far, it's easy to read the ones who are pretenders simply hiding behind a keyboard. So many... and if they could just learn about trees and then plant some...
Action.
Then there would be places for all to roam. We owe the planet some rewilding because it is about the planet, not divisive religions, nations and extreme ideals. I changed my profile picture to our planet yesterday, no flag for me. We all live here, it is the planet that nourishes us, we owe it respect in return.
There are some of us who just not only want to get this message across, we want it to happen... so we've started. Want to swap jobs for a day Mark Zuckerberg? You'll have to bring your gumboots...
