Article about an extraordinary 14-year Speaking our about climate change:
In quoting Martinez, the article says: “One factor [in his own activism] was the indigenous teachings passed on to me by my father and ancestors: that all life is sacred and connected to each of us; that as people on earth we have a responsibility to be caretakers of the world. I also watched Leonardo DiCaprio’s documentary, The 11th Hour, when I was 6. I was devastated. I saw that my world — the world that my and future generations will be left with — is being destroyed by our lifestyles. There’s such a lack of consciousness on our planet.” We’re overusing our resources to an extent that every living system on earth is dying.
