"激进主义是我居住在这个星球上的租金。"

Simplified Meaning:

Doing things to make the world better is my way of paying back for being alive. Think of it like renting a house; you pay money to live there. Here, in life, instead of money, we give our efforts to help others and improve our surroundings. For example, when someone volunteers at a homeless shelter, plants trees, or stands up against injustice, they are giving back to their community and the world. Just like it's fair to pay rent because the house gives you a place to live, it's fair to be an activist because the Earth is our home and we share it with everyone else. By getting involved in causes and helping solve problems, we show gratitude for being here and make the planet better for everyone.
