Lots of “Oomph” Behind Environmental and Social Justice

Yesterday was the 211th birthday of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the man who reminded us, “”Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both.”  That’s certainly the case for those of us trying to get to the truth as it applies to environmental justice.  The realities of what humankind is doing daily to degrade virtually every aspect of this planet are frightening, to say the very least, and the sheer inertia that needs to be overcome if we are to turn this around is staggeringly enormous.

But offsetting that absence of repose is the satisfaction of being a part of a huge and growing grass-roots effort to turn this around.  Consider for a moment that you and I are part of the 2GreenEnergy community, and that this is only one of over 200,000 groups around the world whose mission is environmentalism and social justice; that’s a lot of horsepower.
