Re: Is resistance futile.
What can one person do that matters in this world, let's look:
I haven't contributed one red cent to Big Pharma in years ... so they miss my $$? Probably not, do they miss the accumulated $$ they forcast for all barefooters? YOU BET THEY DO.
I don't buy processed foods. Big Farm no longer gets my grocery money. Does Beatrice and Kraft miss my money? Probably not. DO they miss the accumulated $$ they forcast for all the barefooters? YOU BET THEY DO.
How about those guys that make those convenient styrofoam trays so you can conveniently get 4 tomatoes, from the produce section into your cart, onto the counter, to the car, into the house and into the fridge? Do they miss my $$? Again, I figure NOT, do they miss the accumulated $$ they forcast for all the barefooters? YOU BET THEY DO. AND not buying products sitting in styrofoam and wrapped in plastic wrap, I'm producing alot less garbage of a nature that will never go back to the soil.
Think just about the trash accumulation factor here. Think about the old days and all the styrofoam and plastic wrap you threw away, and those convenient plastic grocery bags. Each week if you cut it out how much land space will you alone save in your life time. It would be a mountain. I don't want Mt Plzchuckle!
Eating raw, I'm making no fumes in the atmosphere where the fuel to generate electricity to run the stove. Not much huh? I cooked 2 and 3 meals a day for my household of 7. I ran that stove HOURS every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, year after year. Over the rest of my life, might I save the earth from 1 ton of pollution just by my diet alone?
The factor here is accumulative. Go convince 2 friends that this is THE WAY to live and that they should convince 2 friends also. Then you've done your part.
It's a green movement, not a revolution that we're doing here.
