We fiddle while Rome Burns.
The fires that ravaged LA,the bombs that levelled Gaza,the inequality that sits on your doorstep.All caused by the same thing.
YOU.
Deny it if you like.
BUT
The three TVs or the three cars you have were fuel for the fires.
The well appointed home you live in was stolen from the man asleep on your door step.
The bombs falling in foreign lands paid for by your taxes.
GREED
OVERCONSUMPTION
What would you actually do to save the planet?Save another human being?
Doing NOTHING is so easy.

Look at some images of Gaza if you want to see utter destruction and desolation.
Just saying
