Earth Day: End Capitalism Before it Ends Us and the Planet

Earth Day 2024 comes amidst a climate emergency for our planet. Already, we are dealing with more frequent wildfires, droughts, storms and other extreme weather events. The main obstacle standing in the way of addressing climate change is private profit, and the system that values quarterly revenue over the survival of human civilization. The fight to save the planet is a fight against capitalism.
