The True Cost Page #9
As well screams.
I grew up on a farm, I married a guy who grew up on a farm,
and those who live on the farm, we live there,
It has to be safe for us too.
And the new chemicals
and intensity of use, continued to rise.
And then in 2005,
Terry began to have loss of fine motor skills,
and this and that, and she discovered
I had glioblastoma multiforme, a brain tumor in stage 4
and in the fullness of his 47 years.
He died at age 50.
We got six months, we had two and a half years,
and the neurosurgeon who operated on him, Lubbock,
It has immense cancer clinics and a medical center.
We did not have to go elsewhere for that brain tumor operate.
We could stay here
because it makes many operations.
He said that this type of tumor found in men, 45 to 65,
working in agriculture, or oilfields.
And although I have no hard evidence, no blood test to tell
The use of cotton chemicals, agricultural chemicals,
led directly to the death of my husband,
there are too many connections with the death of his father.
He grew up on a farm with intensive use of chemicals,
We live amid 1.2 million hectares of cotton,
using many chemicals.
And those moments,
organic was no longer important to me,
it was imperative.
It is imperative that we change agriculture.
It is imperative, if we talk about the long-term sustainability
and welfare of our lives on this planet,
and the lives of our children on the planet,
we have to change.
It is the beginning of a turning point,
not only for a responsible fashion to make way,
but a new form of capitalism,
for a new form of economy.
I'm sure we'll see a significant change
over the next ten years.
If you arrive on time or not it is another matter.
Martin Luther King Jr.,
in a speech at a church in Brooklyn, he said
what America needed was a revolution of values.
She had to stop treating people as things.
She had to stop treating people in a way
it was just about profits.
And however treat people in a real and human way.
OMG! We can make things better!
If we want to disseminate, and I would say yes,
industry spread throughout the world, not concentrate in one place.
Allow benefits are shared globally,
then let's do it in an orderly fashion, reasonable, carefully.
We must recognize that capital is only money.
Money is a means,
and people should be accountable for how it is used.
We have to celebrate the creative power of human beings.
And we talk about the creative work,
We should stop talking about labor.
We have to look at the earth not as a commodity,
with which it is speculated and markets,
but as the very basis of our life, as Mother Earth.
It becomes all consumer activists,
all consumers make ethical questions,
all consumers do very simple questions about
where it comes from his clothes,
all consumers say:
"Sorry, it is not acceptable for someone to die while working".
We can not turn around and say. "Yeah, go do whatever you want."
It is too important, the sector is too important.
Have too much impact and effect on millions of people around the world,
and common resources.
We continue seeking happiness
consumption of thing?
Are we going to be satisfied with a system that makes us feel rich,
while leaving our desperately poor world?
Will we continue to turn a blind eye
to the lives of those who are behind our clothes?
Or will there be a turning point, a new chapter in our history,
when together we begin to make a real change,
to remember that all the clothes we wear was made by human hands?
Amidst all the challenges we face today,
despite all the problems that seem to excel
and beyond our control,
clothing.
