just 25%!

we must, absolutely must, be mindful of our extraordinarily high-carbon consumption in order to lower it. we need to drill it in, over and over, into action. we can, indeed MUST, consume less.

first. stop. this very moment.

think about the best mom in the world, and i can tell you to think of mine for sure, and maybe yours too, if you are as lucky as i am.

stop again. now think about the brutality of the starving mother and her new born child. their lives, right now, and ours in this very same moment. the mother! the child! no access to any consumption, high or low, not even breast milk! and you and me?

think, and think hard, let's exercise our brain power, our thought energy. focus! the mother, the mother, the mother. fill her breasts with milk. but she is empty! a vassal! starvation! the reporters report from their cars, military men drive in their trucks; our wheels of privilege. focus! focus! the mother, the mother, the mother. fill her breasts with milk. how?

i am embarrassed by the political dementia everywhere, and our endless banter through the wires in light of our inhumanity. focus! here in nyc, and other "westernized" high-consumption societies, we can take action. we are truly blessed to have this capacity, and choice. yes, it's amazing to be able to have these multitude of choices: electronic devices and accessories, taxis, cars, long showers, air conditioners, t.v., newer pants, sugary sodas and diet ones too, plastic bags galore, and pizza, ice cream shakes, chicken and shrimp parmigiana, hot dogs w/ the works and bacon-cheese-burgers!

high-carbon choices! the mother! focus! consume 25% less animal protein and balance in 25% plant proteins! just 25%! 25% will change the carbon imbalance for the generations, the earth, our hearts, creation, and the mother.

take action now, right now!
