"The world is not so large, it is quite small. There are 27 species of birds on the endangered species list which live in Hawai'i and nest in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and if they develop the oil in that refuge, we will not have those birds. The world is quite small . . . Because [each act] is a pebble in a pond. Small pebble large ripple." From an interview with Hawaiian lands activist Miilani Trask.
That was back in the nineties. Endangered birds. Endangered fish. Endangered animals. Endangered rivers. Endangered oceans. Endangered lands and underground waters. Endangered children. Endangered women. Endangered men. A screaming planet. It's all one. Little pebbles. Big, big ripples.
