The way this man is being treated is absolutely abhorrent. His name is Earth.

This man has his head shaved against his will. He has handfuls of cigarettes stuffed in his mouth, so he’s breathing in smoke. He has oil poured down his throat.

His name is Earth.

This video is a powerful – and confronting – reminder about how we treat our planet every day.

Today is Earth Day. A time to take five minutes to think about this planet we live on, and what we could be doing differently.

So take those five minutes, and have a look at some of the resources below.
