Closer to home Yehuda Ben-Hamo enjoys volunteering with WAVES4ALL, a San Diego surf therapy group for impaired surfers.Â
“I feel like it’s a duty in a human’s life to devote time to helping his or her community,” says Yehuda. “It’s our responsibility to take action.”
Actions such as protesting the dumping of nuclear waste at the San Onofre power plant, or rallying to save dog beach in Del Mar from multi-million dollar development projects that would be harmful to the coast and surrounding wildlife.
“We (humans) are responsible for the current mass-extinction, climate crisis, public health issues, and degrading ecosystems that are negatively impacting our planet,” says Yehuda.
“Large industry, energy companies, and massive corporations make it nearly impossible for us (humans that care about the planet) to implement the change that we needed so long ago. Money has influenced and blinded governing bodies, legislators, executive officials, and media outlets. This has resulted in worldwide nescience.”
Great story about Yehuda, love his passion and commitments to people and Mother earth! Inspiring!
