Our Alternative Recruitment team visits Elgin High School and Larkin High School once each month to offer students facts about life in the Military, and to suggest alternative ways that a young person can earn money for college.
See our post on this website, entitled “Before Enlisting, Consider This” for more information.
Below is the text of the flyer we will distribute at Occupy Elgin on Saturday, November 8th.
Human influence on the climate is real, and recent human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases are now the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.
Human-caused greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the industrial revolution, leading to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice at the poles have diminished, sea level has risen and the ocean has become more acidic.
Large corporations in the US have gone from arrogant to brazen in their exploitation of workers, their manipulation of elections, their avoidance of taxes, their environmental destruction, and their refusal to take responsibility for the messes they make. They don’t change their behavior because NOBODY STOPS THEM.
Millions don’t like the way things are, but what are the options?
It’s time to explore alternatives.
