To Save the World … ( 09 / 10 / 2014 )
" 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 , that humanity is largely responsible for this change , and this is very bad news indeed for the ultimate survival of our species ...
And yet there IS some good news to report : namely , 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 from cresting 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 .
Once you do so , 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 .
" 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
