April 4 - April 25, 2018

Do Your Part

Hi! PLEASE join me in taking the ecochallenge April 4th to 25th. It takes 3 weeks to build a habit. Let's see how three weeks of action add up to a lifetime of change for us and the planet. Let us take responsibility and recognize our inseparability with each other and our environment. Ripple by ripple. What’s happening right now is huge. I'm talking about climate change. 2016 was the warmest year and yet we have been talking about it for 15 years... We consume 95 million barrels of oil everyday. While it was 80 million 15 years ago. Biodiversity is falling apart beneath our feet and we are authorizing glyphosate for 5 more years. We are deforesting a surface equivalent to Belgium every year to feed livestock and make processed food. It is our responsibility to be active citizens and act. We could make an effort and consume less. Consume less meat. Avoid straws and plastics. Invest in quality rather than quantity. Hold each other accountable. It's not about degrowth but about living with less. We are now 7 billion living on Earth. 80 years ago that was 2 billion. All humans cannot live like us, that is unsustainable. And it's useless to be pessimist. What we need is to take action. To feel the brokenness of what we do. It's about you and what YOU are going to do. Let us look at the world with open eyes and not lie about what is happening. "There is no need to cry- To cry in the dark- We must turn on the light altogether- And we cannot count on politicians to save the problem- You, me and all of us are going to solve this problem." Join me even for a small change, it is a change. Ripple by ripple. Thank You!
