...and why? Because...
"Apartheid didn’t collapse, people got together and struggled, and sang, and persisted. Women weren’t given the vote, they joined with each other and made universal suffrage essential. And so it goes. It’s a well-worn argument, but that doesn’t make it less right. Most of the freedoms we enjoy today have been won by people stepping out of line to make the world a better place by taking back power. And this means confronting the powerful who wish to preserve the status quo. Climate change won’t just go away until we, that’s you and me, get together and create moments of resistance and celebration that break through this grey, complacent slide towards catastrophe".
About Me
- Lewis
- I teach environmental education to young people & children,& I'm an environmental activist. This blog will detail my journey around South America with my girlfriend Colette. We will do the whole journey without flying, in order to minimise the environmental impact of the trip. Originally it was set up so that our friends and family can follow our travels, but then I thought that it could also become a resource/inspiration for others who intend travel in a similar way. It will provide information on cargo ship travel, environmental voluntary projects, and vegetarian eating in South America. I have an alter-ego named Dr Rotalotta - get to know him in these 3 short films I helped to make in 2007 ...if you type 'sort - it' followed by compost, recycle or landfill into the google video search bar, you should find'em...
