ecojustice

The obvious thing... by Sydney Baloue

The thing that kills me about this unseasonably warm weather in Philly is that NO ONE will dare point out the obvious that THIS INDEED is climate change. While black and brown communities are destroyed by hurricanes in Puerto Rico and Mexico and while we all sit in muggy discomfort, a call to action in the name of eco-justice is so out of reach.

To dare care about the fact that yes, as per usual, our communities will be the ones who bare the brunt of the environmental destruction of the planet while white middle class bourgeois people try and make the environment only an issue THEY can care about is just infuriating.

Wake up, folks. Connect the dots. This isn't an accident and sadly, it's only the beginning. Insurance companies know it and you should too.
