Mother Earth Needs Your Help!

Ever since about 1980, humanity has overshot the earth’s carrying capacity. The many symptoms of this include pollution, food shortages, mega-cities, and mass extinctions. The worst of these problems is climate change, which already kills an estimated 300,000 people a year and, if unchecked, will destroy human civilization.

No one person can fix this. But together, we can make a big difference. Here’s how you can help ..

1. Inform yourself about the issues. Plan B 4.0 by Lester Brown is an excellent starting point.

2. Live sustainably.

3. Encourage our government to make the necessary policy changes.

4. Pick an issue and get involved.

5. Encourage family and friends to join you.
