FUCK FOR FOREST, or give the fuck in both the forest and the environment?

How to get attention around environmental issues?

The stunt was a great shock to the public and the society, but it got worldwide attention.

The founders of Fuck For Forest, Leona Johansson and Tommy Hol Ellingsen wanted to draw attention to the deforestation around the world, especially in the Amazon in Brazil. And they surely did! I’ll come to that soon.

For sure we all stem from the rainforest or nature itself. And we stand on the legs of our forefathers and mothers. Not least the last, all mankind’s mother Lucy from The Awash Valley between Kenya and Ethiopia. (see How it all began) The above photo from FFF.

Quite normal and everyday.

Nothing abnormal with this! She obviously wants him to drill deep into her body. What should have been completely abnormal and illegal was to continue drilling deep into mother earth for more oil.

What happened to the naked couple fucking in public?

The couple got a huge amount of attention, as already mentioned above. But they also got the attention of the police, and a lot of police reports, which eventually ended up in the courtroom. If this was not enough, the accused undressed during the trial and showed his penis to the press and those present in the courtroom.

The couple ended up with a huge fine, and had to move their organization and activities to Germany and Berlin. Here they started making homemade porn movies for sale through a payment portal. The profit from this, to say the least untraditional way of earning money, they have used to buy up large areas of rainforest in the Amazon.

What more can be said about FFF:

Fuck for Forest (FFF) is a non-profit environmental organisation founded in 2004 in Norway by Leona Johansson and Tommy Hol Ellingsen. It funds itself through a website of sexually explicit videos and photographs, charging a membership fee for access. A portion of funds is donated to the cause of rescuing the world’s rainforests. It is the world’s first eco-porn organization and maybe the only porn website specifically created to raise money for a cause. The group moved from Oslo, Norway to Berlin, Germany, following the trial of its founders for having sex in public.( info from Wikipedia)

Even though you may react negatively to the methods of this foundation, I think we must take into consideration that different types of people, young or old, have different approaches to the same goal: saving mother earth from devastation!

The Guardians of the Rainforest. (“Guardiões da floresta”)

Deep inside the jungle in the eastern part of the Amazon lives the Gujajara tribe. they call themselves the guardians of the rainforest “Guardioros da Floresta”.

The Guardians of the Amazon are a group of incredibly brave, inspiring Indians in Brazil who are putting their lives on the line to save the Amazon from destruction. They’ve sent you this appeal from their forest home in Araiboia:

Bom Dia friend!

We’re sending you these words today because we need you. Our forest is being invaded by illegal loggers, right now. It’s an emergency.

We patrol, we find the loggers, we destroy their equipment and we send them away. We’ve stopped many loggers. It’s working.

We constantly receive death threats from the logging gangs. Five of us were killed. But we continue, as our forest is our life. Without it, we would all be dead.

Our uncontacted Awá relatives also live in the forest. They cannot survive if it’s destroyed. As long as we live, we will fight for the uncontacted Indians, for all of us, and for nature.

Is there a way to survive, with today’s heads of state and your and my contribution?

Psychological Universe and climate change.

Have you noticed a change in weather and temperature lately? A climate change at an unprecedented rate? Or do you know someone that has experienced a dramatic flood, like on the photo from a town in Germany this summer?

1.5 Celsius or 2.7 Celsius? A matter of life or death!

In our time of crisis, I am too, like most young people particularly concerned with the rapid change in climate and the prospect of 2.7 degrees Celsius increase in temperature. That is if we in the west and parts og Asia continue our way of life our pattern of consumption of today.

I read about an economist who was terrified that the world’s economic growth would slow down and end up at the level of 2011. OMG, I thought, strange that we managed to survive at all, then.

In this world of today, I’m like a spoiled child.

I have a house, a car, warm clothes and summer outfits. I have many pair of shoes, a fridge with plenty of food. I even have a cabin in the mountain! And if I’d wanted it, I could fly to whatever country in the world on vacation. I have, have, have, but that’s not much worth if I can’t exist any longer on this planet!

Let’s unite, and do the job together!

From this day on we must stand together, and fight without borders and limits and not crave for more if we already have enough. We must crave a better environment, crave for living bees, birds, species, and more breathable air, not more luxury goods and unsustainable voyages.

But this form of craving, is a battle with ourselves, our positions as politicians and leaders of state. It’s a battle that can not be won through a tug war between political right-wing and leftist, or at the cost of the very poor countries.

This is because a fight about causes, methods, and solutions between conservatives and socialists pulling on each side of a rope, will only give either side a temporary victory. Most likely the rope will break, – the rope, here signifying human life on earth.

G20 in Rome, October 31, by Daily Sabah

Contribution from each side seems therefore necessary. The new international green movements also seem to base their methods and activities on this philosophy,

– Conservative right-wing minded contribution:

We need the conservative mind’s contribution, to help take care of and conserve the different forms of human thinking and acting that preserve and even improve life on earth. This is the conservation of threatened species, non-polluted air, fresh water and oceans, and tropical forests. Not least, the conservation of millions of people living in countries with areas just above sea level. An Unbound neo-capitalistic global economy is a bad prescription for such conservation!

– Radical left-wing minded contribution:

We need the radical mind’s contribution to “eradicate” and remove the different forms of human thinking and acting that inhibit and prevent human and animal survival on earth! Modern capitalism’s inherent belief in the value of constant competition and economical growth must be considered obsolete.

– Neutral  scientific contribution:

In addition,-  psychologists, sociologists, and biologists must help us define what the average human being needs to feel safe, and reasonably happy, and well taken care of in life. That is: When is enough, and more and more,- only less?

“We are one, and connected to all other living creatures and matter.”

There is an invisible bond between the micro and the macrocosm, where you and I are in the middle somewhere. Everything that exists, depends on other existences, also you and me! With our brains and hearts, we can set this scientific knowledge into action.

Global and ruthless capitalism without ethics, moral and knowledge must be stopped!

This photo speaks for itself, by unknown source.

There is also a part of physics anticipated in the late 50’ies and early ’60s, a scientific shift towards the perception of reality as closely connected and interrelated. Never has this reality been more true and important to remember when we deal with global warming and pollution of the air we all breath in. Some of us have believed in this and partly practiced this since the early seventies. Now we must brace ourselves to our duty to save ourselves from the devastation.

Try to list three things you can do personally from now on, to help the planet:
