Educate Others About Ecocide 

Ecocide means killing one’s home – and that’s what we’re doing. 

We see it every day. Droughts, floods, fires, hurricanes, melting icecaps and rising seas, dead coral reefs and extinct animals and botanical species – we are killing our home.   

There must be a global commitment to solve this global crisis.
