To Save the World … (09/10/14)
“Nature never deceives us; it is always we who deceive ourselves.” ~ Jean Jacques Rousseau
By now it simply must be obvious to everyone (well, almost everyone) that 99% of the world’s scientists studying the matter are correct — that our Earth’s climate is changing, that it is changing rapidly, and this is very bad news indeed for the ultimate survival of our species …
And yet there IS some good news: there is something that you can do today that will make a significant positive impact on this crisis; something that is powerful enough that — if enough of us get on board in time — could indeed stop the catastrophe before it’s too late.
And this something is as simple to do as it is powerful once done …
And this something is removing all animal products from your diet.
You will be healthier, you will be happier, your body will become more energized & far more productive, your mind will become more clear & far more calm … and to top it all off — you just might save the world.
Peace to ALL …

“One problem facing humanity is now so urgent that, unless it is resolved in the next two decades, it will destroy our global civilization: the climate crisis.” ~ Dr. Tim Flannery
“The likely end of the era of civilization is foreshadowed in a new draft report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the generally conservative monitor of what is happening to the physical world. The report concludes that increasing greenhouse gas emissions risk “severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems” over the coming decades … One index of human impact is the extinction of species, now estimated to be at about the same rate as it was 65 million years ago when an asteroid hit the Earth. That is the presumed cause for the ending of the age of the dinosaurs, which opened the way for small mammals to proliferate, and ultimately modern humans. Today, it is humans who are the asteroid, condemning much of life to extinction.” ~ Noam Chomsky
“Ignoring veganism in the fight against climate change is sort of like ignoring fast food in the fight against obesity. Forget ending dirty coal or natural gas pipelines. As the recent World Preservation Foundation report shows, veganism offers the single most effective path to reducing global climate change. The evidence is powerful: Eating a vegan diet, according to the study, is seven times more effective at reducing emissions than eating a local meat-based diet. A global vegan diet (of conventional crops) would reduce dietary emissions by 87 percent, compared to a token 8 percent reduction for “sustainable meat and dairy” … Overall, the point seems pretty strong: global veganism would do more than any other single action to reduce GHG emissions.” ~ James McWilliams
