Around the World in Fifty Earth Days

It’s been 50 years since the first Earth Day when scientists and activisits rally to help protect the Earth. In the decades since, the environmental problems that sparked thegreen movement have only gotten worse. There has been the continued widespread loss of forests and grasslands, exacerbating the dangers of climate change and contributing to an alarmingly swift decline in animal and plant species. Environmental groups for decades have campaigned to get lawmakers to take action. Fifty years of pushback against vested economic interests have failed to achieve very much success. Humanity’s problems transcend any nation or group of nations. We are seeing how a virus ravages populations globally.

But hope remains. The Socialist Party says what is necessary is a fundamental change in thinking and action which goes well beyond any one day. The Socialist Party envisages the unification of all the peoples of the world in one universal family. World socialism is not only possible will be the next stage in the evolution of mankind
