Dear Supporter,

Why did the Mayan and Easter Island societies fail?

In his book, “Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed,” Jared Diamond suggests that a society’s success or failure hinges largely on how it manages, or mismanages, nature—including how it produces food.

Industrial agriculture, with its toxic chemicals, monocultures, drugs and deforestation, is destroying the natural resources needed to sustain life on earth.

Will we reverse this trend, before it’s too late? 

DEADLINE EXTENDED: We had hoped to wrap up our 2nd-quarter fundraising by June 30. But we’ve extended the deadline because we must reach our goal, or we risk having to make cutbacks. Can you make a donation today?

Growing millions of acres of GMO monoculture crops, doused with cancer-causing and soil-destroying chemicals is not natural.

Cramming billions of farm animals into filthy barns and cages, pumping them full of growth hormones and antibiotics, is not natural.

Feeding the masses with over-processed, contaminant-filled junk food is not natural.

We can change how we produce food and nourish not only ourselves, but the resources we depend on for health and life . . . but only if we muster  the courage and the political will to stand up to powerful corporations that profit from a degenerative food system.

As writer and naturalist Edward Abbey warned:

“A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.”

As long as we are able, we will fight back against the corrupt corporations and their beholden politicians who view nature as nothing more than a commodity to be exploited for profit. 

But we need your support, more urgently than ever.

Please make a donation today if you are able. You can donate online, by mail or by phone, details here.

Thank you. Be safe. Be healthy.
