On the right the monied look only to where best to invest their money to make more money. Such tightly focused short-termism will see them investing in more fossil fuel extraction or in the manufacture of arms. The manufacture of arms will see the need for more wars. The unmonied right meanwhile will be fiercely protective of their bit of the planet. When it is now the whole of the planet that we need to protect, to invest in. Vote Green.
Voting left will see jobs protected, even if those jobs are part of an industry that is contributing to the destruction of life on the planet. On whichever continent we work and live we are all Earthlings now. Vote Green.
We have to save the planet to save ourselves. Vote Green.
Vote Green regardless of your country or your politics. Our priority now, at this late stage, has to be to save the planet. Vote Green.
No planet means no countries and no politics. Vote Green.
Any war will only contribute to the ongoing catastrophe. Negotiate a truce, strive for peace. Vote Green.
If where you live on planet Earth and you have no vote, nevertheless, and if safe to do so, campaign for Green outcomes.
We are, every single person, a viable part of this planet. That is how we must see ourselves now, as part of. Not part of a society, not part of a nation, not of a people; but as part of the place we are, as part of the landscape, as part of all the living things around us, all the creatures and all the plants. We are now no more no less than all things together here. Vote Green.
This planet is the only one we have. If we carry on destroying it we destroy ourselves. Vote Green.
It is in all our interests to save the planet. Vote Green.
For planet Earth's sake, vote Green.
