How to Save the World … (04/22/13)
SAVING the EARTH: Step ONE
Happy Earth Day, my Friends!
In honor of our beautiful planet — a Home we are currently destroying and dirtying at an alarming rate, I suggest that today we all DO SOMETHING to help. And what I am offering is a much easier solution than many of those offered by the many thousands of Caring Earth-activists these days …
*I am not asking you to walk to work (or bike, or commute, or use public transportation) in order to help weaken the stranglehold that big oil has on our world …
*I am not asking you to take shorter showers, replace your lawns with low-maintenance groundcovers or stop running the tap while you brush your teeth (though most think-tank intellectuals do believe that the next world war will be fought over clean water) …
*and I am not asking you to create less garbage or recycle ALL of the garbage that you do create (compost, people — compost! It’s the best way to feed those home-grown vegetables).
Nope … all I am asking you to do is make one small shift in your diet:
All I & the Earth are asking you to do is to stop eating meat & dairy products for one day.
Because in that one day (TODAY), you & you alone will do your part in saving planet Earth. Because In just that one day (TODAY), you will save well over 5000+ gallons of fresh water, you will save the lives of literally hundreds of trees, and you will lessen the amount of air pollution produced by more than ten average automobiles.
All this for the Earth in just one day of veganism … just one day, every day you do so!
Now I know that that there are many others important reasons to replace the meat & milk in your diet with healthier alternatives, and yet saving your planet is a pretty good place to start …
After all, it’s the only place you have.
