Climate Justice

Raizes supports Climate Justice. The relationship between humans, the planet and available resources is a cultural issue. Respect for ourselves and for the world lies in our habits. It is necessary to establish virtuous habits. Most of our polluting habits risk killing not only animal and plant species but also us human beings, physically and in the depths of the soul. The climate challenge is a cultural challenge, a great opportunity for all artists in the world. Let’s unite, fill the corners of cities and the web with our works and our messages dedicated to the salvation of the planet.
