Ashleigh Cummings Instagram – I call this: “How I feel about Adani (whilst wearing #nonewthings for sustainability magazine @thefrontlash).” Also y’all don’t click on my photos unless it’s of my face and I have something really important I want you to read! These poignant words by @_sarahwilson_ : “I have spent the past few months interviewing leading climate scientists and psychologists around the world. Things are bad, worse than they predicted, in fact. This is an emergency, and they want us to panic. One scientist said science has done all it can. The only thing that can work now…and every single expert I spoke to said the same… is… ACTIVISM Activism works. Dear friends, don’t doubt this. It’s not the time to doubt ourselves. For, the emergency is NOW. The UN has revised the deadline from 12 years to 17 months from now for EVERY COUNTRY to act. Australia faces “apocalyptic crisis” (EVEN NEWS.COM USED THIS LANGUAGE THIS WEEK) by… January. None of this is not true. BUT… ….here’s where I find hope: * Every solution to the climate crisis already exists. This is an astonishing truth. * We ONLY have to convince governments, business and finance, to enact them. * Governments currently listen to Big Business. * They will listen to ALL OF US if we become convincing enough – if we ALL rally together. So will Big Business…and probably faster. * EVERY time 3.5% of any population has mobilised in activism, the change happened. This is an astonishing truth. * And so ABSOLUTELY, 100 PER CENT if you are worried and want things to change, THIS FRIDAY is THE opportunity. * And ABSOLUTELY, 100 PER CENT your part will count. The opportunity is right there in front of us. How lucky are we that the PERFECT THING has arrived at the most perfect time. Now! It will be BIG. But let’s make sure it WORKS. It could be our last opportunity.” Go to strikewithus.org to find a strike near you!
