For The People, By The People
When change is the inevitable it's important that we all come together. Abraham Lincoln helped this nation create a new way of life and thought. So much that is costed him his life. He understood the issues arising with our nation and had bold ideas on how to change them. His speech on June 1, 1865 still holds true in many ways. Granted his speech was for a different cause, but it still grasps the same fundamentals for us today.
Fundamentals that awakened all that understood that our nation was created by the people to create a better way of living for the people. In this day and age, as we are still in many wars, the most important one is an environmental war. There are many aspects in which we are contributing to our own extinction by doing harm to our planet's environment.
We have arrived to an age where we have a unique opportunity to create a new way of thought where our future generations will not suffer from the damage that has been made. Damages that can indeed be reversed if we act now. The biggest threat to our environment is Global Warming, which is an ultimate price to pay that can shift our way of life as we know it. Pollution is one of the major leading causes of Global Warming. Pollution in our minds and pollution in our environment.
Green-LA is building green awareness that will help us in the forefront of our battle for a more sustainable planet. Be a solution and help create our future!
Go back into time to Abraham Lincoln's speech. The Gettysburg Address: Bold and holding still true today.
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." -courtesy of the Abraham Lincoln Association
