“I refuse to accept that man is mostly violent and rarely loving. So, I will shout out for climate justice until I lose my voice; protect all animals until I lose my strength; plant more trees until I lose all seeds; speak up to power’s greed until I have lost all words, for it is time to love back nature or lose all life.”
