Joey Moncarz
Former creator/principal of the late Deep Green Bush-School
My efforts reflect the love for life on Earth. I try to live with respect—for people, animals, land, and all living systems—and to meet the world with empathy and responsibility. My work is guided by fairness, ecological awareness, and a commitment to challenge exploitation and oppression wherever it appears. I believe in extending compassion toward others, because care and understanding make communities, relationships, and landscapes stronger. I stand up for what is right, even when it’s unpopular, and strive to make choices that nurture connection, health, and integrity in every part of life.
