Quiet activism is an interesting term... I got involved in permaculture – putting Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share in action – as I wanted to join people who were hands-on in driving change. Protesting is part of it, but it's not enough on its own. https://t.co/hdWh4Ow8SD

"However, what if we allowed ourselves to fall in love with the soil?
What if we desired to make the trees smile,
and the leaves to shimmer?
Wouldn’t Mother Nature restore our breathing,
calm our frayed emotions,
and court the missing birds
who will wake us up?" #Permaculture
"What allowed paper or metallic money,
ultimately, imaginary money,
to inflate our egos so much
we forgot to revere the earth?
Instead, we cut down our oxygen, our carbon sinks and rain-makers.
Without so much as a pause,
we cut down our lives." #Permaculture
“In Australia, the bird-songs are my wake-up call.
Here in Kabul, there are just too few birds …
The soil is exhausted, dry and starving,
so we have to repair the soil.
We have no choice, if we wish to survive.” #Permaculture#AfganPeaceVolunteers

This is a mind-boggling story. The fossil fuel industry hired hundreds of actors to pretend they were citizens and testify at pubic hearings against renewable energy. And it worked.
