The U.S. needs to understand that there is a limit on where and what they can keep producing in other countries. They also need to understand that it not only effects the enviroment but as well as the people living there. We might not understand but to most fellow countries it is intruding their land, I give my respect to the Indeginous people and their leaders for standing up for their beloved land. We would not like it if someone intruded and destroyed our home so why go and do it to some one else. May God Bless the Women and Children for their bravery and the Men who represent them.

My prayers and thoughts are with these men, women, and little ones who are standing strong as the last true resistance against destruction of some of the most vital life systems on our planet. Their work is for all of us, and for the grandchildren. The work that we, the consuming nations must do to support them is to personally and collectively support greater localization of resources, learn to live abundantly with a smaller ecological (and social) footprint, and do all we can to pressure our political leaders and the corporations to stop pillaging and polluting the earth. May change come speedily!
