Ode to Water
Just as the crises are all connected—water crisis, biodiversity crisis, climate crisis—so are the solutions: restore natural flow and cycles of water; revegetate barren and degraded land; recognize water as a local and global commons, shared by all beings; and restore the sacred being of water herself, with the same rights as all persons—to health, autonomy, and integrity.

Soil: Begin with the Beginning
It begins with the land. And the land begins from the
soil. Soil that lives.
Living, breathing soil is more than dirt and more than just earth. She embraces all the elements: space, air, water, earth, and fire. She comprehends multitudes.

Un Testimonio de los Amigos en el Asunto de la Población
“[La humanidad] se enfrenta a un problema trágico en términos de pura aritmética …. [Cualquier] tasa positiva de crecimiento que fuese, finalmente lleva a la población humana a una magnitud inaceptable.”
(Kenneth E. Boulding, 1964, The Meaning of the 20th Century: The Great Transition.)
