We Are The Earth That We Walk On And The species That Call It Home
We Are The Earth That We Walk On And The species That Call It Home Here is a protest campaign I did here in the beautiful tropical island of Puerto Rico. As long as I am on this earth, I will stand up and be the voice of the voiceless. The thing is the earth and the different species that call it home have a voice but we don’t listen. We have our heads to busy in the sand, too busy chasing the wrong shade of green. I find this protest to be sort of art in motion. Poetic justice. I walk around every week and as many days as…

Foreigners Care More About Puerto Rico Than Most People Born Here Why is it that someone not born, foreigners in Puerto Rico often shows more care for its natural beauty than those who call it home? Why do I, a foreigner, find myself picking up trash while locals walk past it? These are the questions that haunt me as I witness this island’s paradise tarnished by neglect. Before I start, I want to clarify that this does not apply to everyone in Puerto Rico. Many people care deeply about this paradise, but a majority seem indifferent. Too often, I see people sitting next to trash and doing nothing about it.…
