So where did I leave off? Oh yes, how each of us individuals can make a difference.. (this is a two part series and you can find the first part of Ramblings of an Eco Warrior Princess here.
Well first off we have to stop hiding behind our fear, ignorance and apathy. Why you ask? Well if it wasn’t for our individual “wants” then we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in right now. If we didn’t “want” so much goddamned stuff then the companies wouldn’t be producing all of this stuff to feed our “wants.” And if we didn’t accumulate all of this stuff, we wouldn’t be afraid of losing it in the first place and having to find secure places to put all of our stuff. And the companies wouldn’t be playing off on our fears of not having enough, not being good enough or losing the stuff. Then we would actually stop worrying and instead be focussed on just satisfying our needs and than open ourselves up to other possibilities. As a result, we could eradicate the part of human nature that is obsessed with materialism and consumerism and use that energy focussing on other things to help the human species evolve…
