A thousand cuts
By Claudia Befu
45.
Our ecosystems are dying
by a thousand cuts
every single day.
Every object we hold,
every meal we eat,
every glass of water we drink,
every city we build,
every car we drive,
every breath we take
and every move we make on this planet
as human beings in the 21st century
leaves a dent in our world.
By productizing our planet,
we have destroyed it.

A society cannot run on consumption.
A society cannot run on greed.
A society cannot run on exploitation.
A society cannot run on what sells.
A society cannot run on wars.
A society cannot run on tech.
A society can only run on
the ecosystems that sustain it.
