This blog is about recognizing the connection between the health of the environment and the health of a people and strengthening both. "It really all boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dec. 1967

Overconsumption Uprooted
A quote shared by the Women's Earth Alliance:
“Feeling uprooted and disconnected can cause a desire to conquer or dominate others to establish self-worth and a sense of belonging. This includes attempting to dominate the physical world by over-consuming material goods when we lose a meaningful and fulfilling kinship with Earth and each other.”
– Osprey Oreille Lake, Uprisings for the Earth
