Long Live Freedom, Long Live the Wild

If protecting the environment doesn't become the main priority for our political leaders it will continue to be ravaged. Most of the world’s problems stem from one, a degrading natural world and our disconnection to it. At every turn the president only keeps pressing ahead with his fascist agenda, which does nothing to help the environment and everything to destroy it. Only with wilderness can we be healthy and truly free; only will the poor have a chance. How do you get someone like him to think along these lines or at least fathom the idea that without nature humankind can’t survive, so he will do some good? The answer is simple. Getting him to do it is another matter entirely. You take him to the Amazon jungle and have him try to survive for three months in the wild led by a Mascho Piro or an Huaorani shaman. Otherwise you can’t. His sickness of greed and narcissism cannot be cured in an industrial world of asphalt and steal with people like him who cannot think outside the capitalism box. You have to replace him before he takes us all down. We have to respect nature again. This requires massive public pressure, shaming leaders who support anti-environment policies, and also by becoming an ardent minimalist. Long live freedom. Long live the wild.
