The Conscious Voice, is leading a conscious worldwide revolution, calling for the nation and the world to become self-sufficient and economically sustainable. With this vision, he is imploring the world to realize that “a food crisis is on the horizon if they do not plant more trees…. more seeds” and develop livelihoods within their communities. The vision is to love and honor ourselves first as a people, then develop enterprises to facilitate a people-centered form of responsible tourism.
Mackie Conscious asks the nation to take action now, firstly by listening to “Plant Some Trees”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxRVhb4fh58 and then share with networks of people.
