Hey Steemians! It's on our heart today to share this message. On Earth Day there are obviously a lot of ways we in the Western world can care for our Earth better. Another thing we can do is to support the people on the FRONT LINES, who are usually brown and live in developing countries. Their environments and resources get exploited EVERY DAY by multinational corporations serving our greed and politicians serving these "business interests."
We believe the best business interests are those that think of the long term health of our planet, support and encourage (not wipe out) biodiversity, and stop raping and mistreating indigenous communities' people, land and water supplies!

It gives the full story behind Olivia Arévalo Lomas who was killed in her Peruvian town. She is an indigenous healer and earth protector. We feel strongly about amplifying the actions and plight of these indigenous healers and so we're dedicating our earth day activities to supporting them, praying and sharing their message. Please read our article listed above and consider supporting the organizations listed at the bottom.
Thanks for watching!
