Harvard professor Erica Chenoweth discovered it only takes 3.5% of a population to change their world through nonviolent protests. For the U.S., that's 11 million people.

Wish the New Seminole had known that when we took on the Outside. A lot of people would be alive right now if we had. Perhaps Extinction Rebellion and Greta Thunberg's weekly Climate Change Strikes are the way to go. But back then, no one was paying much attention to the "State of the Earth" and the vocal majority that were, wanted us hunted down and killed.
Hopefully "giving peace a chance" will save the day but according to our favorite environmentalist, Greta the Great, we have less than 11-years to pull that off.
Good luck with that. Really.
*Based on the current world population of 7.7 billion.
