Mother earths demise

[hazeyjane (carla Aijtink)]

It sounds final, Mother earths demise. But we are well on our way!
the average human produces about 4.4 pounds (2 kg) of garbage a day, or a total of 29 pounds (13 kg) per week and 1,600 pounds (726 kg) a year. This only takes into consideration the average household member and does not count industrial waste or commercial trash!

The human impact on this earth

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can hear you think........, it can not be that bad but it is. To make the picture even more clear I found a very powerful video on youtube that might make you think differently and made me rethink if i really did enough so far to be a counter weight in this battle!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the solution to pollution Earth; the plastic planet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday I planned on buying bottles of water of which 100% of the profit goes to countries where they have no or very little clean water. I'm afraid I have to change my strategy if I want to participate in wrighting this wrong. Cause even though the bottles are made out of 100% recycled product, I have no way of knowing for sure my effort to live green will be taken seriously and all the waist I so carefully separate will not end up on one and the same waist heap to ad to the problem instead of decreasing it!
I do have a great admiration for No Impact man and his family in the first video. What they did/do takes lots of sacrifice and change to the now a day's human in general! Although he looks now back up on it as not being that hard at all, I wonder about that, and not sure if I would be able to and if I could keep doing what they did ( still doing) with such determination and conviction. After all it should become a way of life to have the aims to effect to live a no Impact man life!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leave's the question Do I, Do you have the will and backbone to live like No Impact man and his family, and persist in that way of living and,... if we don't does that mean we don't care enough about our Mother Earth, the future of our children and grandchildren? Or can and will we go true the struggle of going cold turkey on not having everything the easy way. Cause to be honest the green way is definately harder then the the 21st century automated way!! Ask any 80 year old!
But instead of going cold turkey I'm going to ease myself slowly into this new life style. Not saying I will follow exactly in No Impact man's trail but i'm planning on coming a long way!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just curious!! [puzzled] Would you or have  you already changed to the go green lifestyle, if you did what was your motivation, how and do you have any pointers. If not what was your motivation for that choice, or maybe you never ever gave it any thought. Please share!!!

I have been abandoning you guys for quit a while, just had some issues, but i have my priorities straightened out now:+)) I'm back, hope you missed me.

About a year ago i found i movie on youtube that's called No Impact man.

Cost me some time to find it again but i did and felled it could not be missed

on my blog. Have they atmost respect for this family, what they pulled off the way they did this. Not sure if i ( with my spoiled self) would be able to do that

Watch, Listen and Learn and let me know if you think you could or couldn't and why!!

And what the next vid is showing is even harder in todays society!!

Does money really make the world go round

To me they answer is simple NOOOO, Money is a dead object, it's people

that make the money go round the world. And dispait all the good efforts

of people like Mhee and No Impact Man and many other people, i do not believe things will ever change to the point they should when money's around. Unless we all go life in a selfsufficient community. Not sute if that would be for me!!

Found two very interesting art about this subject, that you think might be word reading. Did give me some insight!

The fact is they were wrong.

Last week, I did something I have never done before. I took out my credit card  bill and categorised my payments into two columns: experiences and objects.  Going to a restaurant was an experience; buying a Zara dress was an object. The  reason for this curious exercise was a research paper, recently published in the  Journal of Consumer Psychology with a provocative title "If money doesn't make  you happy, you probably aren't spending it right". Written by Elizabeth Dunn of  the University of British Columbia, Daniel Gilbert of Harvard University and  Timothy Wilson of the University of Virginia, the paper offers eight principles  on how to spend money so that it improves, or as the authors prefer to call it,  "buys" happiness. Choosing to spend money on experiences rather than things was  the first suggestion.
