Why Love Earth?

It is time for a new era in human civilization to emerge. An era in the timeline of Homo sapiens that defines the rest of our history. In the year 2025, with nearly 200,000 years of human existence, our future is uncertain and treacherous—arguably more so than ever. There is war, poverty, mistrust, and hatred. This is not the way of humans. At least not modern humans. Humans have a level of intelligence and have adapted where these factors of uncertainty and treachery are unnecessary. Entirely unnecessary. We have the tools and ability to overcome these challenges. Our energy, money, time, and resources are ill-spent on initiatives and causes that are an objective net loss for our species and planet.

These previously mentioned challenges aren't just threatening human existence, but unjustly, all life on Earth. We are not the only ones inhabiting this planet, millions of species of flora and fauna are affected by human actions daily. Deforestation, pollution, dissemination of land, and so many more of these reckless actions must stop.

We must collectively and swiftly act. Why are we waiting? Are we going to wait until the real consequences set in? When will it be enough for action to be taken? This has gone on too far, the demand and will of the people has been ignored by a doctrine of greed and murder.

Will we stop when our water is poisoned? Residents of Flint, MI are still struggling to source clean and affordable water after 10 years of heavily and dangerously polluted water. Will we stop when our air is poisoned? Bakersfield, CA fails to meet safe and regulated air quality assessments year after year - what action is being taken?

Ten years and 400 million dollars have gone into fixing the Flint, MI, water crisis, and residents are still struggling. Throwing money at a problem is a band-aid, short-sighted solution. The real action, tackling the root causes of pollution, is the solution. These issues will only get worse with time. As our infrastructure continues to crumble, communities—more specifically, low-income communities—are going to be hit hard.

I point these cases out to show you that we can't wait any longer. The consequences are already in effect. We are watching the Earth crumble and doing nothing.

This disgruntled member of society's ramblings is what forms the mission of Love Earth Collective. This website is not just a blog, but a community and a movement. This is a collective for people who share the same frustrations as I. Together we are going to fix this.

Many articles, posts, and projects are in the works -- so look out for content. There will be much more to come.

Love Earth.

Be Well.
