"You got to bring people together. People power is the way that you can change things in the world."
"when there's been warm, dry soil for a long time, and then things come back into balance. And right now, we're out of balance... the natural life support systems of the planet are under threat."
"And the things that we can do [are] really very simple. It's clean energy technology, right now, that we can switch to. We can make the world be powered by things that don't destroy the planet."
"they burning the planet down,"
Jon Batiste released a new song titled "Petrichor" two decades after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. The song warns that people are "burning the planet down" while remaining framed as a call to action set to a dance beat. Batiste defines petrichor as the scent after rain when the earth comes back into balance and says the planet's natural life support systems are under threat. He urges collective response through people power, voting, and adoption of clean energy technology as simple, immediate steps to prevent further planetary damage.
