fun fact planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old mankind about 140,000 years old let me put that in perspective if you condense the Earth's lifespan into 24 hours that's one full day than we have been here on this planet for drum roll please 3 seconds 3 seconds and look what we've done we have modestly named ourselves Homo sapiens meaning wise men man but is man really so wise smart yes and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good yes we have split the atom yes we build clever machines that navigate
the universe in search of new homes but at the same time those atoms we split created nuclear warfare in our quest to explore the Galaxy Rejects and neglects the home that we have here now so no that cannot be wisdom wisdom is different while intelligence speaks wisdom listens and we willingly covered our ears to Mother Nature's screams and closed our eyes to all of her help wanted signs wisdom knows that every action has an equal and opposite reaction so if we were wise we would not be shocked when we see storms that are stronger than
ever before or more drought hurricanes and Wildfire than ever before because there's more pollution than ever before more carbon more trees cut down than ever before at a record Pace we have increased the extinction of animals by 1,000 times the normal rate what a feat in the next 10 to 100 years every beloved animal character in every children's book is predicted to go extinct Lion's gone rhinos gone tiger gorilla elephant polar bear gone in 3 seconds species that have been here longer than us will be gone because of us in this 3 seconds in an
existence shorter than a Vine video we turn the circle of life into our own personal conveyor belt somebody anybody help we were given so much the only planet in this solar system with life I mean we are one in a million no actually scientifically We Are One in a billion trillion trillion that's a one followed by 33 zeros and I don't want to get too spiritual but how are we not a miracle we are perfectly positioned to the Sun so we don't burn but not too distant so we don't turn to ice goldilock said it

and disconnected but they have underestimated our strength contrary to popular belief millions are waking up out of their sleep seeing our home being taken right up under our feet we cannot allow our history to be written by the wicked greedy and Looney it is our duty to protect Mother Nature from those who refuse to see her beauty call me crazy but I believe we should have the right to eat food that's safe with ingredients we can pronounce drink water that is clean Marvel at trees breathe air free of toxins these are natural rights not things
that can be bargained for in Congress see they want you to feel powerless but it has been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterflies Wing can cause a typhoon Halfway Around the World well when enough people come together we too will make waves and wash the world into a new era fill with love and connection freedom for all without oppression but it is up to you yes you watching this behind this screen to make the effort because time is of the essence and only together can we make it to the fourth
second [Music]
