“The better news is that as we transform how we generate energy, how we move ourselves around, how we grow our food and how we live in cities, we have a historic opportunity to build a society that is fairer on every front, and where everyone is valued.

We make sure that, wherever possible, our renewable energy comes from community-controlled providers and cooperatives, so that decisions about land use are made democratically and profits from energy production are used to pay for much-needed services.”

the sky is crying
when the whole world

may be she will not have
any more tears to cry
rivers are drying up
tsunamis come uninvited

of what chemicals are tears made of
why do I cry everytime it rains...”
