From the I AM WATER website/blog: Tonight there is a ‘Pollinator Party’ at a park near my home. Sponsored by the Park Board and other community groups, we will gather to celebrate our increasingly endangered bees. In a study released today “scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture have identified a witch’s brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen that bees collect to feed their hives.” These man-made chemicals are killing our bees by the millions and imperiling the global food supply. We should celebrate the bees, but protecting them will challenge each of us to speak truth to power - to the multi-national corporations that create these toxins and enrich themselves through their use - and to a political system that appears incapable of protecting the environment - the elemental commons - upon which we all depend. “We are looking for a tongue that speaks with reverence for life, searching for an ecology of mind…that returns us to our own sacredness, to a self-love and respect that will carry out to others… The ears of the corn are listening and waiting. They want peace. The stalks of the corn want clean water, sun that is in its full clean shining. The leaves of the corn want good earth. The earth wants peace. The birds who eat the corn do not want poison. Nothing wants to suffer. The wind does not want to carry the stories of death.” Linda Hogan, A Different Yield Image from an article by Kathy Keatley Garvey Please Like I AM WATER on Facebook or follow the projects progress at iamwaterproject
