is a law not
worth following.

1:01:06
We will violate it because
saving seed is a duty

1:01:09
to the earth and
to future generations.

1:01:13
We thought it would
really be symbolic

1:01:16
It is more than symbolic.
1:01:17
It is becoming
a survival option.

1:01:20
Farmers who grow
their own seeds

1:01:23
save their own seeds
1:01:25
don’t buy pesticides
1:01:26
have threefold
more incomes

1:01:28
than farmers who are locked
into the chemical treadmill

1:01:30
depending on
Monsanto and Cargill

1:01:34
We have managed
to create alternatives

1:01:36
that work for people.
1:01:38
There are many tools
for bringing back community.

1:01:42
But the importance is
not the tools

1:01:44
I mean there’s litigation
there’s legislation

1:01:46
there’s direct action
there’s education boycotts

1:01:50
social investment...
1:01:51
There’s many many ways
to address issues

1:01:56
of corporate power.
1:01:57
But in the final analysis
1:01:59
what’s really important
is the vision.

1:02:00
You have to have
abetter story

1:02:02
Do I know you well enough to
call you fellow plunderers?

1:02:07
There is not an industrial
company on earth

1:02:11
not an institution
of any kind

1:02:14
not mine not yours
not anyone’s

1:02:17
that is sustainable.
1:02:21
I stand convicted by
me myself alone

1:02:24
not by anyone else
1:02:25
as a plunderer
of the earth

1:02:27
but not by our
civilizations definition.

1:02:30
By our civilization’s
definition

1:02:32
I'm a captain
of industry.

1:02:34
In the eyes of many
a kind of modern-day hero.

1:02:37
But really really
1:02:39
the first industrial
revolution is flawed

1:02:44
it is not working.
1:02:46
It is unsustainable.
1:02:49
It is the mistake
1:02:52
and we must
move on to another

1:02:55
and better
industrial revolution

1:02:57
and get it right
this time.
