Clint Eastwood’s words
Famous actor and producer Clint Eastwood could not have better summarized the philosophy of the upcoming children’s platform on which we have been working with passion for the last 3 years:
We constantly talk about saving the planet, repairing our mistakes, bequeathing a cleaner and fairer world to future generations. We are outraged, we demonstrate, we debate about solutions. But have we only understood that the real emergency is not only the state of the Earth, but that of humanity?
A planet does not need to be saved. It regenerates. It survives cataclysms, ice ages, meteorites. What endangers the balance of the world is Man himself. His greed. His selfishness. His lack of respect for everything around Him.
We are chasing ecological solutions without ever questioning the origin of the problem: Individualism, corruption, the loss of essential values. We mourn the destruction of nature, but the real destruction is that of consciences.
If we want a better world, it is not only laws that must be voted on or technologies that must be invented. These are souls that must be awakened. Spirits that must be educated. Hearts that must be fed.
Because a child who grows up in the love of the true, the beautiful and the just, will respect his neighbor as he will respect the Earth. He will not pollute, not for fear of the fine, but because he will know that everything is linked. He will not seek to possess, but to build. He will not destroy, but will preserve.
So yes, let’s plant trees, reduce our waste. But above all, let’s raise our children with solid values. Let’s teach them humility, responsibility, awareness of the living. Because a planet doesn’t need saviors. She needs human beings worthy of living there.
