For those who died for our cause

This video is important for several reasons. One of them is that at Sarah Lawrence College, and elsewhere, I notice that environmentalists, while well-meaning, often get afraid of what people in positions of power will do or say, what regulations have to do or say about doing the right thing for the environment, such as those with composting even when at times those regulations don't make sense. Most times, these setbacks have been enough to prevent environmental action from occurring both on campus, and elsewhere. Why should this be? Here we are, rich, comfortable, and in the best college in the country, and now we act all set back just because of what one person in the college would do or say.

It is worth realizing that the worries we face are of little importance in comparison to the people who have died for the environment. See
