There Is No Word For "Disposable" In Native Languages

This is Julia Butterfly Hill, an American activist and environmentalist. She is best known for living in a 180-foot (55 m)-tall, roughly 1500-year-old California Redwood tree for 738 days between December 10, 1997 and December 18, 1999.
I feel her words on "disposability consciousness" in this video are epic and truly enlightened. What richness, what truth, what poetry she speaks here. I will quote a few sentences, and please enjoy the rest of her wisdom in this incredible video.
"I know in my heart that as long as trashing the planet and trashing each other, a healthy, holistic and healed world is not possible. We can not have peace ON the earth unless we also have peace WITH the earth. Our disposability consciousness is a weapon of mass destruction."
She is referring to how we mindlessly buy a cup of coffee -- or anything-- in disposable packaging. And where is "away" when we throw it away? It's all right here, isn't it? What a monumental disconnect we have come to accept!
She speaks of reclaiming every step of life as a step toward consciousness, and a step toward healing!
