“We are all witness to the rape of the world”

This article makes me so sad to read. This was the country I was in for the Peace Corps and I cannot begin to explain how beautiful the land and the people are. In a world of obscene mass consumption and a ‘use once then dispose of’ mentality which extends to people and one night stands, Kiribati is a place that respects and values Quality over Quantity. People have lived on these islands for thousands of years, and now in the next twenty they won’t exist. It’s so pathetic that we care more for convenience then people.
