The Greater Groovecast 003, featuring yours truly, @mochileromusic.

This mix is dedicated to the ancient old growth giants that give life to us all in a plethora of ways. It was recorded live at a Greater Groove ecstatic dance fundraiser for Last Stand West Kootenay, an organizing based out of the Kootenays that advocates for the protection of all old growth forests, the sustainable transition of the forestry industry toward value adding, community-led, small scale, selective and second-growth logging. As we continue moving forward on this path of self-destruction via unlimited consumption and extraction, the signs will become more and more clear. Floods, fires, landslides, heat waves, erratic weather, and hurricanes will continue to increase in frequency and intensity. The mass extinction will continue to accelerate, and industry will continue to place blame on various species as it attempts to divert attention away from the real culprit, humans. When will we begin to recognize the oneness that connects us all in this beautiful web of life, and act on it? I thank those who stand on the front lines, who sacrifice everything for the trees, animals, mosses, us. If you'd like to learn more about this issue, search Last Stand West Kootenay on facebook, check out this short article: https://sierraclub.bc.ca/10-reasons-to-save-old-growth/?fbclid=IwAR36zvipvySa1cf3h9k-DnN66lC6-Iae-nn-kOOoEurkG6OMmTrHH3OwAHY , and read this article which lays out a clear roadmap towards sustainability and a just transition: https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-forestry-boundary-country/ Make a donation to an environmental organization. If we don't act now, we will all pay the price. Much love <3  -mochilero.
