OceanRiver is an environmental, social, and cultural group. We’re an organization expressing its views of the planet, progressive peace, and justice through media, activism, and innovations. We are more interested with a system of how things could work rather than how things do work. Our foremost goal is not to protect the environment & save the people but to inspire the people to help the people and protect the environment.
Today the world is embroidered in a fabric of corruption, mistrust, anger, and irresponsible actions. And the actions of the people with power have lead to undesired consequences.That is in the simplest form we are being deceived by the nature of our culture. There are two aspects of our culture that is destroying our world. One are our politicians who have failed us. The other are the corporations who are only in the business of brainwashing and exploitation the population for the benefit of their profit.
When nations (Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan) are invaded mainly due to political interest or for other reasons which by international standards are still illegal (Palestine by 'Israel', Tibet by China, Lebanon by 'Israel') it becomes drastically important for those who weld the true legitimate power (the common people) to take to the streets to denie those who steal power the opportunity to use the power. Power is shared by agreement of the social contract; signed by both people and government. We can no longer stand and watch while our environment, the basis for which all life depends on is ruthless destroyed and the natural process disrupted. We can no longer stand still to watch poor people ignored by the rich. The people who can do something must do something. While there is mistrust and fear in the world, there is also hope.
In this emotional disturded world, peace and justice is only possible through understanding, respect, courage, and hope. We must believe in the will of each other.
