Why Should We Occupy Earth?
Occupy Wall Street is a spontaneous and organic movement that came out of the blue. Well, sort of. Many people across the nation and around the globe are not happy with economic inequality and how unfair business practices are hurting people's lives and our planet Earth for long enough. Now, more and more people are speaking up as if the kettle is releasing more steam. The fire is burning and the water is boiling above the point where people are getting themselves arrested to protest against the economic inequality. The Occupy Wall Street movement is growing into the new direction. It does not stop at evicting protesters from encampments like how we saw in the videos with Occupy Portland and Occupy Oakland. Time will tell.
Does the Occupy Wall Street movement has anything to do with protecting the environment? You bet! Bad business practices lead to the exploitation of workers and natural resources. No wonder why Occupiers are very displeased with giant corporations, such as with oil companies and factory farms, and how they are in solidarity with the 99%. What we're seeing in Zuccotti Park is an example of how people could work together and live together without making profits off of each other. Read the news articles and watch YouTube videos about Occupiers to learn what they have done so far. For instance, they're re-using grey water, recharging laptops and cell phones by pedal power and so on.
