In my opinion, the only truly meaningful endeavor for humanity at this time is replanting the global garden. Without a massive international effort to reduce greenhouse gases, stabilize climate change, and stop the decline of the earths life support systems by using plants, all the other good struggles of the new world revolution will be overtaken by ecological chaos. On the other hand, simply by starting the unifying effort to replenish the earths botanical abundance, all those other struggles will become successful. In my eyes, the people who are working toward manifesting this vision are the true leaders, heroes, and role models of this age. And the key to this effort is medicinal plants.
