Written by Wes Annac, The Culture of Awareness
It becomes clear to anyone who looks around that we’re dealing with a unique situation here on earth.
We live on a beautiful planet that provides everything we could ever need and then some, and we humans aren’t the only ones here. We’re one out of thousands of sentient creatures who share this planet, and instead of using our evolutionary superiority to help our fellow species, we’ve practically dominated them into oblivion.
Our precious resources are in the hands of a small collective of rich, powerful and influential people who seem to tower over the rest of the world, and aware activists and organizations have strived to raise awareness of the crimes they commit on a daily basis.
The common person doesn’t seem to understand or care that we’re rapidly depleting our resources and destroying our environment, and the activist groups who try to raise awareness and make a change are usually treated unkindly by our mainstream culture.
