A thousand suns

Well if you live ecologically and prosper, two things will happen.

1) Environmentalists will ignore you.

2) Western governments suffed full of the Chris Bryants of this world, will probably try to get rid of you (but say they are helping you at the same time).

However indigenous people are strong and winning battles....but we must all take up arms (non violently) in these battles, time is short.

So cancel you donation to an environmental group and send your cash to a group like Continental Cry.

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years.

Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores two interrelated threats to the Gamo Highlands: 1) the evangelistic aspirations of the protestant church that are destroying the Gamos indigenous spirituality and governance systems; and 2) the efforts of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), a Western aid organization which is spending hundreds of millions of dollars bringing chemical pesticides, fertilizers and‚ improved seeds to the continent. Through these external forces we gain insight into the modern worlds untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature. And we see how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.
