| Message | We came, we saw and now we are destroying. Human greed has led us to destroy the planet we live in just to fill up our pockets, well, the pockets of some. Human greed doesn't allow us to understand that what we are doing can only be good in the short-term and will end up having catastrophic consequences in the long-term. We need to free our society of greed and make sure future generations have the possibility to live happy and healthy lives in a prosperous and sustainable country. Our future is in our hands so let's do whatever we can to guarantee a clean environment to all, an environment that provides people the conditions necessary to be healthy, to have success and to live long. Saki Hamasaki, Spokesperson of 変化する (Change) |
