Prince Ea x Stand For Trees: Dear Future Generations: Sorry

[@liselindblom9158]

This video made me realise what a evil person I've become, always making myself excuses for everything I do, and what's done. After seeing this I actually signed up, I donated money for the forest, for the trees, for the animals and everything that live among us. I hope that everyone wake up someday, and realize it before it's too late.. before we all wearing oxygen masks, some place far far in the desert.

[@andee8872]

lol

[@annettecleary6325]

What an amazing guy. Please listen to his message. He is predicting our future if we don't change.

[@heikewolf-mueller310]

Very much appreciated Truth Thank you dearly for sharing dear

[@annettecleary6325]

Heike Wolf-Mueller you are very welcome!

[@johnwalkup9133]

Magnificent!

[@Assurre]

Annette Cleary Actually its reality

[@petermarintv]

So powerful. I hope everyone gets a chance to see this.

[@devlinchiffings]

if you disliked this i have no respect for you listen to this man

[@marcreese34]

Thank you. So powerful.

[@stephenmay4213]

This man has so much emotion and he sends such a powerful message, it made me tear up the first time I watched this.

[@garciabass]

Could not say it any better- God Bless us all.

[@dianehuey1]

Prince Ea, Thank you for your eloquence and passion. Yours is a message that will touch many people.

[@tinaklamert]

The most brilliant conversation I have ever heard !

[@grosbeak2007]

Thank you, Prince Ea. Rarely do I get the chance to hear the truth spoken so eloquently and with such conviction. I hope you are blessed with many years to keep on telling the truth.

[@calpinr]

Eleoquent, beautiful, TRUE, LISTEN UP ALL!!

[@katrinmcelderry1426]

My student just shared this with me...so moving!

[@wndrdog]

Fan-freakin-tastic! About time. With digital tech we're literally surrounded by great musicians / rappers / poets / storytellers / painters ... so I've been stunned how few have decided to tell the story of climate. We celebrate the protest songs of Civil Rights and Woodstock, but it seems the story of Climate Change hasn't resonated yet with enough creative geniuses. Massive kudos for this inspiring, truth-telling piece.

[@nashaycierra]

when my teacher showed us this I began thinking more... This video is so deep no one has any right to deny it.These dats people are not thinking about the future ,tomorrow,etc.Im sorry to.You look around and see men and women on drugs,teen making babies,celebrity's making songs about butt and sex .The kids is following what they see around them,but if we don't start as a community now ,where are we gonna end up? Thank you Prince EA for thus video ...

[@georgeannaelliott7981]

I love this, and I love that 35 million people have watched it. As a "millennial thinker" I have pretty much given up on my generation, but I talk to millennials all the time, and they seem to be much more aware and tuned in. Now guys, you just gotta vote. Vote for candidates with your values, not the biggest campaign budgets. Vote against ANYONE the Koch;s are for. Because if you don't you are just going to get more of what you've got.

[@cinjafrenkel7318]

Amazing. We need more people like him!!! We really have to protect our environment!

[@TrapGod_JackofAllTrades]

LET'S GO EVERYONE! Make this video false! Stand up for our home and our trees! We all deserve, even our children's children, some fresh air!

[@etherraichu]

It gets hard when you realize things will get worse. We've waited too long to stop it. But we can stop it from getting *even worse than that*. It would've been a lot easier if we started a lot earlier. Thankfully, at least some people did. It would be worse now than it is without people spreading these messages.

[@ponyboy1133]

Great video. Favorite line: Using nature as a credit card with no spending limit

[@traceywhitney1272]

This is so profound! Thank you, Prince Ea.

[@FifthPinned]

We need more videos like this on youtube!

[@dfmcjr123]

We must be the change that we want to see. Winter is over. We shouldn't wait for Earth Day to be a reason to pick up trash in a public space. We can get exercise and sunshine and at the same time be cleaning up our environment and hopefully being a power of example to someone who may see you. It shouldn't be shameful to be seen picking up litter on Mother Earth. It's a noble act!

[@TheSpaceguy33]

All these issues come down to population.. We need to start taking control of how many new people we're creating each year.

[@smplystatd]

Beautiful. Thank you. Stand For Trees.

SMART Sophisticating Minds and Revolutionizing Thought (S.M.A.R.T.) Yesterday I would have said I hated rap. That changed today!!!

This video is very deep in so many ways. I wish i could download it

[@Commonvoice815]

D'Mon Mitchell it's not deep, it's mostly lies with emotional music behind it..

[@darockdebias]

Great website great link hopefully everyone gets the message , keep on keepin on...

[@margielancaster8581]

What a terriffic present6ation!!! Hooray for this fella~!

[@GeorgeinME]

This man is a prophet.

[@MNFEELTHEBASS]

We need more people like him in this world

[@klairebear1986]

This is a great video with such a wonderful and important message. Thank you for making a difference!

[@PhotobyFrankZ]

Can I LIKE this video a million times ?

[@kcwookie]

Excellent video. Let's make every day Earth Day.

[@Nitrox4me]

This must get around to families and friends. We just can't leave the earth for our future generations with the underlying question... what if?

[@chiaracastania6110]

Beautiful thank you

[@aprilmoreno100]

I love this video and thank you for making it

[@tonymontana68000]

thank's to say sorry for the humanity... nice job my man ^^

[@ALostConnection]

perfect way to end it!! Fabulously done. Just offset 2 tonne's and it feels great!!! Great call to action man. Can't wait to see this blow up.

[@Taco-chan]

Beautiful 🌎

[@nicoleharveyuk]

Amazing stuff - brilliant work... Perhaps too far out for many to get their head around but - as well as making comedy - I'm part of a sound healing group and there's so much that comes through each week - the earth feeling raped by fracking, the whales freaked out from sonar, the kidnapped Nigerian girls feeling forgotten, animals we slaughter, we send light all sorts of troubled souls, and zones and that engineers and leaders may wake up and be inspired to remedy the destruction and dirtying :0 xxxx

[@oneyyyone]

This young man gives me hope that the greed of the past will change to the need of the future.

[@karmagurung3164]

When i get big ,Am going to change it Thats a promise to our earth

[@dras9933]

I couldn't find the lyrics to this amazing earth song! So here's my best shot ;) Ty Prince Ea , dear world, enjoy! And please repost and share the green love 💚🙌♻️🌱🌴🌳🌎 SORRY. 💚🌎 "Dear future generations: I think I speak for the rest of us when I say SORRY. Sorry we left you with our mess of a planet. Sorry that we were too caught up in our own doings to do something. Sorry we listened to people who made excuses to do nothing. I hope you forgive us we just didn't realize how special the earth was like a marriage gone wrong we didn't know what we had until it was gone. For example: you probably know it as the Amazon desert right ? Well believe it or not it was once called the Amazon Rainforest and there were billions of trees and all of them gorgeous and , oh, you don't know much about trees then do you? Well let me tell you trees are amazing! I mean we literally breathe in the air they are creating. They clean up our pollution, our carbon, they store and purify our water, they give us the medicine that cures our diseases food that feeds us. Which is why I'm so sorry to tell you that we burned them down. We cut them down with brutal machines horrific at a rate of 40 football fields a minute that's 50% of all the trees gone in the last 100 years. Why? For this. And that wouldn't make me so sad if it weren't for so many pictures of leaves on it. You know when I was a child I read how the native Americans had so such consideration for the planet that they felt responsible for how they left the land for 7 generations. Which bring me great sorrow because most of us today, don't even care about tomorrow. So I'm sorry. Sorry that we put profit above people. Greed above need. The rule of gold above the the golden rule. I'm sorry that we used nature as a credit card with no spending limit over drafting animals into extinction stealing your chance to ever see their uniqueness or become friends with them. Sorry we poisoned the ocean so much that you can't even swim in them. But most of all I'm sorry about our mindset 'cause we had the nerve to call this destruction, progress. Hey Fox News if you don't think climate change is a threat I dare you to interview the thousands of people in Bangladesh see while you were in your homes nestled their homes were washed away underneath their feet due to rising sea levels. And Sarah Palin, you said that you love the smell of fossil fuels well I urge you to talk to the kids of Beijing who are forced to wear pollution masks just to go to school. See you can ignore this but the thing about truth is, it can be denied but not avoided. So I'm sorry future generations that our footprint became a sinkhole and not a garden. I'm sorry that we paid so mucho attention to Isis and very little attention to how fast the ice is melting in the arctic. I'm sorry that we doomed you, I'm sorry we couldn't find another planet in time to move to. I am... You know what? Cut the beat. I'm not sorry. This future, I do not accept it. Because an error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it! We can redirect this. How? Let me suggest this. That if a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy they don't look at the branches to diagnose it. They look at the root. So like that farmer we must look at the root and not to the branches of government. Not to the politicians run by corporations. We are the root. We are the foundation, this generation. It is up to us to take care of this planet, it is our only home. We must globally warm our hearts and climate change our souls and realize that we are not apart from nature. We are a part of nature! And to betray nature is to betray us. And to save nature is to save us because whatever you're fighting for, racism or poverty, feminism, gay rights or any type of equality, it won't matter in the least. Because if we don't work together to save the environment, we will be equally extinct. SORRY. " ~Prince Ea #StandForTrees

Amazing.

[@mc4bbs]

Wow... Almost 3% of people gave this a 'thumbs down'?!? Very sad.

[@patrickthompson148]

mc4bbs fossil fuel trolls or fox viewers, most likely.

[@stealthemerald5645]

well you know 'they' are..corporate trolls protecting their interests of big$$ and the desecration of creation

[@etherraichu]

mc4bbs Don't think too much about it. There is something that draws people to popular videos, and downrank them for no obvious reason. This one's number is actually low compared to what most videos see. So its honestly mostly just those strange people who downrank everything that passes 10,000 views.

[@mc4bbs]

Patrick Thompson Probably. I guess I shouldn't fret so, there are more important things to worry about, as clearly outlined in the video! Thanks for your reply.

[@mc4bbs]

***** Quite possibly.

[@jamierowe1829]

Just perfect. :)

[@djstar7970]

Well done bro... It realised the reality 😗😗

[@ShepardsSin]

Does he really only have 30,000 views or is KZbin screwing up? Because he needs to be known

Wow...

What a cool Guy :)

I'm not sorry.. this future, I do not accept it.

[@OrlyStudios]

"No settled family or community has ever called its home place an “environment.” None has ever called its feeling for its home place “biocentric” or “anthropocentric.” None has ever thought of its connection to its home place as “ecological,” deep or shallow. The concepts and insights of the ecologists are of great usefulness in our predicament, and we can hardly escape the need to speak of “ecology” and “ecosystems.” But the terms themselves are culturally sterile. They come from the juiceless, abstract intellectuality of the universities which was invented to disconnect, displace, and disembody the mind. The real names of the environment are the names of rivers and river valleys; creeks, ridges, and mountains; towns and cities; lakes, woodlands, lanes roads, creatures, and people. And the real name of our connection to this everywhere different and differently named earth is “work.” We are connected by work even to the places where we don’t work, for all places are connected; it is clear by now that we cannot exempt one place from our ruin of another. The name of our proper connection to the earth is “good work,” for good work involves much giving of honor. It honors the source of its materials; it honors the place where it is done; it honors the art by which it is done; it honors the thing that it makes and the user of the made thing. Good work is always modestly scaled, for it cannot ignore either the nature of individual places or the differences between places, and it always involves a sort of religious humility, for not everything is known. Good work can be defined only in particularity, for it must be defined a little differently for every one of the places and every one of the workers on the earth. The name of our present society’s connection to the earth is “bad work” - work that is only generally and crudely defined, that enacts a dependence that is ill understood, that enacts no affection and gives no honor. Every one of us is to some extent guilty of this bad work. This guilt does not mean that we must indulge in a lot of breast-beating and confession; it means only that there is much good work to be done by every one of us and that we must begin to do it." ~ Wendell Berry

[@JunaedGalib-BD]

Does anyone has the full lyrics to these heavy words ?

[@wildbird2912]

What we should do is sustainable development. Living today while having the future in mind. Thats what our forefathers did....but now, its gone... An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.

[@Mae-ou3ft]

How the fuck could anyone even unlike this? 😩

watching this video is just so sad now

We are all searching for security, yet the very same symbol of our security, the trees, we destroy ...

Agroforestry, shade growing and polycultures. Vital! Monoculture tree planting is trouble. Keep it diverse. Buy shade coffee and agroforestry fruits and veggies.

[@ShawnMicheldeMontaigne]

I wonder how many living in suburbia will watch this and think because they're vegetarians, that they aren't part of the problem? There they are, living in their cookie-cutter homes, working as cogs ... but hey--they don't eat meat! That makes them heroes! Woohoo! It's about lifestyle, folks. Working for the Man, being that automaton, buying into the bells and whistles of the suburban/corporate mindset ... that's as destructive, if not far more destructive, than whether or not you eat animal flesh or consume dairy products. Deny this at your own ignorant suburban peril.

[@TranNguyenVungLay]

Yes, I am also sorry to the future generation because I tried to advocate and use verbal to against who destroyed our mother Earth but my power is not full strong enough as power money. I am so sorry.

[@marctorr5551]

A beautiful way to share such a horrible reality......unless we do something

There are more solutions at www.permaculturenews.org. Permaculture understands the foundational place of tree growing systems. The forest is the teacher. Will we learn? I'm doing my Permaculture Design Course right now to learn more about repairing the abused places on the Earth. Anyone can do this. We must do this. Solutions are there and everyone can contribute.

[@johndeclefpineiro7372]

Think about it: is saying "Sorry" where we really want to end up? If you're not even signing online petitions and sharing them on your social media, or if you're not marching to denounce some outrage (there are so many these days), or if your voice isn't being heard as one of those who oppose the status quo that every day is wrecking the lives and livelihoods and futures of your fellow citizens and burning up our collective environment, then saying "Sorry" to generations behind you means your life just amounted to one big excuse for doing nothing. Think about it. Then act to make a difference. (JdeCP) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bquagaWHYtiNaNE#t=289

Care Generazioni Future Penso di parlare per il resto di noi quando dico, mi dispiace, mi dispiace se vi stiamo lasciando il nostro casino di pianeta. Ci dispiace che eravamo troppo presi nelle nostre azioni di fare qualcosa. Ci dispiace, abbiamo ascoltato le persone che hanno trovato scuse,di non fare nulla. Spero che voi possiate perdonarci Noi semplicemente non ci siamo resi conto di quanto fosse speciale la terra, come un matrimonio che va male, non sapevamo quello che avevamo avuto fino a quando l'abbiamo perso. Per esempio, Immagino che probabilmente sapete che cosa è il deserto di Amazon, giusto? Beh che ci crediate o no, una volta era chiamata, la foresta pluviale amazzonica, e c'erano miliardi di alberi lì, e tutti loro erano stupendi e solo um .. Oh, non sapete molto di alberi, vero? Beh lasciate che vi dica che gli alberi sono incredibili, e voglio dire, noi letteralmente respiriamo l'aria che loro creano, e che ripuliscono il nostro inquinamento, immagazzinano il nostro carbonio, e purificano l'acqua,ci danno la medicina che cura le nostre malattie,il cibo che ci nutre. Ecco perché mi dispiace tanto, nel dirvi che, noi li abbiamo abbattuti e bruciati. Tagliarli giù con macchine brutali, orribili, ad una velocità di 40 campi da calcio ogni minuto, che è il 50% di tutti gli alberi del mondo, tutto andato negli ultimi 100 anni. Perché? Per questo. e che non mi farebbe così triste, se non ci fossero così tante immagini di foglie su di esso. Sapete, quando ero un bambino, Ho letto come i nativi americani avevano tale considerazione, per il pianeta di cui si sentivano responsabili, per come avrebbero lasciato la terra per le prossime 7 generazioni. Il che mi porta grande dolore, perché la maggior parte di noi oggi, non hanno nemmeno cura del domani. Quindi mi dispiace, mi dispiace che abbiamo messo il profitto sulle persone, l'avidità sulla necessità, la regola dell'oro sopra come la regola d'oro. Mi dispiace che abbiamo usato la natura come una carta di credito senza alcun limite di spesa. Prelevando all’eccesso gli animali fino all'estinzione, rubando l'occasione di vedere mai la loro unicità,o diventare loro amici , Mi dispiace, se avveleniamo l'oceano, tanto che non ci si può nemmeno fare il bagno in loro. Ma più di tutto, mi dispiace per la nostra mentalità, perché abbiamo avuto il coraggio di chiamare questa distruzione,progresso. Hey Fox News, se non credi che il cambiamento climatico sia una minaccia. Ti sfido a intervistare i migliaia di senzatetto in Bangladesh, vedili mentre sei nel tuo attico (super design "NESSEL") le loro case sono state letteralmente spazzate via sotto i loro piedi a causa dell’aumento del livello dei mari, e Sara Palin, hai detto che ti piace l'odore di combustibili fossili, bene, ti esorto a parlare con i ragazzi di Pechino che sono costretti a indossare maschere di inquinamento solo per andare a scuola. Si vede che si può ignorare questo, ma è la verità, si può negare, non evitare. Mi dispiace cosi tanto generazione futura, Mi dispiace che le nostre impronte siano diventate una voragine e non un giardino. Mi dispiace che abbiamo pagato con così tanta attenzione l’ISIS, e molto poco, rispetto a quanto velocemente il ghiaccio si sta sciogliendo nell'Artico. Mi dispiace che vi stiamo condannando E mi dispiace che non abbiamo trovato un altro pianeta in tempo per muoverci I Ams ... Sai cosa, tagliare il ritmo, non mi dispiace. Questo futuro io non lo accetto, perché un errore non diventa un errore, fino a quando ti rifiuti di correggerlo, Noi possiamo reindirizzare questo, come? Mi permetto di suggerire che, se un agricoltore vede un albero che è malato, non guarda a diagnosticare i rami, guarda alla radice, in quanto contadino, dobbiamo guardare alla radice, e non i rami del governo, non ai politici gestiti dalle società , noi siamo la radice, noi siamo la fondazione, spetta a noi, a questa generazione, prenderci cura di questo pianeta. E’ la nostra unica casa, dobbiamo riscaldare globalmente i nostri cuori e cambiare il clima delle nostre anime e ci rendiamo conto che non siamo parte della natura, siamo una parte della natura. e tradire la natura è come tradire noi stessi. Salvare la natura, è Salvarci, perché quello che stai combattendo per, Razzismo, la povertà, il femminismo, diritti degli omosessuali, o qualsiasi tipo di uguaglianza. non avrà minimamente importanza, perché se non lavoriamo tutti insieme per salvare l'ambiente, saremo tutti ugualmente estinti.

There will be winners and losers thanks to climate change. Those Pacific atoll island would not be there except for the fact that sea level was 20 feet higher in the past. Some areas will be wetter, some dryer, some cooler - yes cooler - and some warmer. And some species will go extinct, just has been occurring throughout earth history. But more importantly, what are "you" willing to give up; how are you willing to be inconvenienced? How about a 55 mph speed limit, for openers. Saves gas and money and lessens carbon dioxide output. Ready for 55? I could do it, can you?

[@Roonskii]

Requiem, Kurt Vonnegut The crucified planet Earth, should it find a voice and a sense of irony, might now well say of our abuse of it, "Forgive them, Father, They know not what they do." The irony would be that we know what we are doing. When the last living thing has died on account of us, how poetical it would be if Earth could say, in a voice floating up perhaps from the floor of the Grand Canyon, ''It is done." People did not like it here.

[@swervydervy9177]

I don't like how it disregards fighting for racism, equality e.t.c. ...

[@MattMenezes]

Now, Earth Day is tying climate change with poverty. The unfortunate truth is ending poverty means allowing the most impoverished nations like India and China to have access to cheap energy (i.e. coal and other cheap fossil fuels). I'm a huge fan of renewables and economic prosperity for all, but how can you expect countries with hundreds of millions of poor people to not use the cheapest form of energy in an effort to lift those disenfranchised people out of poverty. The western world had it's time with coal (heck, the US still burns so much coal), but it'd be hypocritical to not allow the upcoming 3rd world countries access to cheap energy when the western world used it for decades upon decades. It's hard to see how reversing climate change can coincide with ending poverty. I hope there's a way - maybe the new ITER tokomak fusion reactors or super cheap PV panels will disrupt coal and other fossil fuels. Only time will tell...

Earth will get to the point where humans can no longer survive (air pollution, water pollution, etc..) and yes, it will then recycle and revive itself. This is going to happen fast. More and more pollution goes up in the air and water everyday, all while millions of clean air producing trees are demolished. 🌱🌷🌼🍁🌲🌸💐🍂🌳🌹🌾🍃🌴🌺🌿🌻🍀
