Multidisciplinary Artist, Finland

“There is no point in a human civilization based on law and justice, if the law does not protect the most essential and crucial core of our life - the planet. We as humans consist and live of this planet - we are part of it on a cellular, molecular, cultural and all nuclear levels of our being. The complex cathedral of ecosystems and layers of earth provide us all with life: nutrition, water, oxygen, temperature, materials, the movement of our bodies and organs, our thoughts, our universe: all the environments we live in. The biodiversity that nature has built on this planet is (was) extraordinary. We must protect crimes against our life and our planet with clear laws.

Human culture must change thoroughly to become an eco-socially sustainable culture. Supporting the process through law is  inevitable. We need more collaboration between all levels of society to accomplish a profound cultural change that will be rooted in all we do. Environmentally educated artists and activists can have a significant role in that development.."
