Earth Day 2010: Eating As If The Earth Matters

Image
Forty years have passed since the first Earth Day, and many people now realize that, if we’re serious about saving the planet, we have to do more than just recycle, carry cloth bags, take short showers, and use energy-efficient light bulbs.  While these are all worthwhile measures, we must also work to control our population —and our appetite for flesh .  There are currently 6.8 billion people in the world and experts predict that there will be at least 9 billion humans by 2050. Global meat consumption is projected to double by 2050. With meat-eaters putting such an enormous carbon footprint on the Earth already, it’s frightening to think what things will be like if global meat (and cheese) consumption doubles within 40 years.  In fact, my head practically starts to spin when I think about all the water currently squandered on animal agriculture; all the forests that are being bulldozed to make more room for animals and the crops to feed them; all the manure that see

Dear friends! You know that One Person Can Make A Difference.... Lets make activism and civic engagement more fun, more effective, more social, and more widely embraced.

The future is in the air.....blowing with the wind of CHANGE! One Person Can Make A Difference

One Person Can Make a difference

it was John F Kennedy who once said: “One person can make a difference and every person should try.” We can make this world a better place! Simple actions can make a difference! We must create the change that we like to see in this world! important improvements can begin with ONE PERSON! It always starts with one person who has courage and who demonstrates with their life lived what change looks like. These people give courage to others. Mahatma Gandhi was such a person. Martin Luther King Jr. was such a person. Jesus of Nazareth was such a person. Albert Einstein was such a person. I am sure that you may be such a person also. if you are truly passionate about your mission you CAN MAKE a difference. Yes, One Person Can Make a Difference. Remind yourself of this with this poster, populated with the names of so many people who did make a difference in their lives. From Martin Luther King to Clara Barton to Gandhi to Thomas Paine to Elizabeth Blackwell to Ida Tarbell, let th
