Hola dear friends!

All citizens in the north of our globe know that their behavior caused gigantic problems in the other half of the world, no? Those people in the so-called ‘developed’ countries consume like there is no tomorrow! It reminds me of a song of Bad Religion, it may sound somewhat cruel, though it’s just the way it is: ‘I want to conquer the world,
Expose the culprits and feed them to the children,
I’ll do away with air pollution and then all save the whales,
We’ll have peace on earth and global communion.’ (Bad Religion – I Want to Conquer the World)

Look at those problems in the Southern part of the world caused by climate change, it’s a smack in the face! I feel the pain in my roots…

Who do you blame? Do you feel responsible yourself?

Love & peace,
Gary

p.s. I’m glad to have so many awesome friends at Facebook.

I’m sure we all can agree that catching sunrays is a pretty pleasant job, but right now I’m as red as a tomato… Sure turning heads on the street! A red plant! Well, my own fault I guess. Last time I was here, it wasn’t half as hot.

Hopefully there’ll be clean water soon. The sun keeps burning, so I hope I’ll stay in the shadow most of the days. Apart from that, the people are so kind and they’re trying to help each other at the best of their ability.

Has it always been like this here? Incredible how people can operate under this circumstances. Let alone a plant that’s not really sure where it’s from. It’s probably further away from the equator then where I am now…

All this travelling around got me thinking. I wonder how much is caused by humans. And how much of it is just, well you know, nature. And another thing: the more people I know, the more I come to like them. But the more I see from the world, the more I get convinced that some extremes aren’t random (or just nature).

How’s the weather out there? And what do you think?

Hola, this time a message from the hospital in the Pacific! As I told you, it was pretty hot. I could barely breathe. I don’t  even know how I got here. When I woke up my fruits were gone and my leafs shrank. I’m thinking about what Alice Hoffman said: ‘When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.’ The weather is even more changing with the current state of the climate.

I have to take my leave, ‘cause I’m pretty weak now.

Love&peace,

Gary

Hi! So I’ve been brought to the Pacific. It’s pretty over here, but also hot! Like the humidity though. Really does me good after the smog… A few months ago I met Maria here in the neighborhood. In the video below she tells about her experience of facing the destruction of her homeland and her call to global leaders to act fast to preserve her way of life and that of millions of others.

‘The times there a changin’ (Bob Dylan) Well, it’s pretty rude: Marias’ house will disappear because of the careless approach of other humans.

Hopefully I can meet Maria in Copenhagen next month. Some doctors (or something) told me they’ll take me there to show the world what the health of the climate is today. Yay!

Love&peace,
Gary
