 Shouldn't All Products
Be Green? 


While clothing, food and shelter are necessary, our consumption is what causes our global problems; climate change, mass extinction, ocean acidification, soil depletion, ocean dead zones, micro-plastic pollution, over-fishing etc.....essentially most of what's causing our global crisis is buying stuff - not the stuff we need, but the stuff we don't need -  then throwing it in the trash.....except......the trash-can is Mother Earth, and there's just no place left on Earth to dump it.

It's all toxic materials destroying our eco-systems and messing with Earth's fragile life-support-systems (elss)....sun, water, air, soil, plants and animals. The whole thing works in harmony. Plants feed on the sun, water, air and soil. Animals feed on water, air, and plants. Animals depend on plants for food and for oxygen so animals do not exist but for plants. 

The harmony of ELSS is far beyond comprehension (far beyond the models of all super computers together) and when humans work outside of the ELSS and introduce materials not found within the ELSS and earth's evolution, the ELSS can only become broken and deteriated.     

The problems, according to economists, boils down to money....our present supply & demand economy, based on the "capitalist profit motive", does not factor in the effects of the economy on ELSS. An economy that does not account for the supply, but is dependent on an infinite supply, must fail if the supply is finite and cannot be recycled.  

 

 

Companies that produce our industrial products don't pay to replace the raw materials.  water & soil, used to produce the products we eat and use. Their 'profit' is acquired through selling lots of material goods as cheap as possible, which they do through manipulating our thoughts through advertising and propaganda. If we ask ourselves the simple question....Do I really need his thing, and weight it against the environmental cost as well as your cost. 

But what they don't tell us is the true environmental cost of the goods.....the reason they don't tell us is they don't care.....the reason they don't care is they don't pay for them, they are not factored in to the cost of production. why are they not factored in....because when the 'supply and demand' model was created, the general consensus was that the Earth had unlimited resources and we would never run out of Earth's bountiful supply.  But this utopian ideal has all changed. 

In fact, it's been gone since the 60's. that when scientists began to foretell that the supply and demand model was beginning to have consequences on Earth's life support systems and changes were needed.....but these changes never came because the corporation decided to keep the status quote.....why.....because they were making staggering amounts of profit.

 

 

 

 So if the companies don't pay the environmental degradation cost and the people don't pay for the it then who pays the cost for all the pollution, habitat loss, species extinction, climate change, plastic pollution etc.....unfortunately it is Mother Earth who pays. But the Earth can only provide a set amount of resources and once the resources are gone, so are we.

Where Do Our Recourses Come From?

But not knowing is not anyone's fault....Not knowing is what makes it all work, it's by design. Advertising leaves out the part about the "environmental cost". Our supply and demand economy leaves out the part about the "environmental cost"....as do governments and even some environmental groups. WWF reports $175,000,000,000 that's 175 trillion per year. Well....surprise surprise, that's not sustainable. That's double what the Earth produces per year. 

While they seem to know their companies bottom line, they have no idea what the Earth's bottom line is, which is odd because that's where they get their recourses. It seems pretty basic that if you fish all the fish out of the ocean, your business model is not going to be successful. 

Mother Nature is the only thing that everyone should be thinking about, every day, with each purchase.....What is the real cost, how does this product or practice effect the Earth????.....That means each individuals environmental footprint, the footprint of each commodity, each nations footprint and the global footprint. 

Petroleum multi-nationals, agricultural factory farms and off-shore fishing fleets can only profit through ecosystem exploitation which is systematically killing our planet.

Keeping consumers in the dark about the state of the looming collapse keeps the money flowing into the pockets of the super rich.  Is that not crazy!! 

It's hard to believe....that profit creates a false sense of status, a status that supersedes the reality of the cost of gaining that status. 

Money cannot possibly be more important than the environment which gave us our life, and sustains our life each and every day. But the profit association with our monitary economic system leads us to treat mother earth like a garbage dump. And....if earth system collapse, well what then? 

Microscopic plastic particles are now ubiquitous in the air, ocean and throughout the soil. This is not good for us or the environment or any of the billions of diverse species we share the Earth with. These synthetic particles are infiltrating our bodies and altering our organic chemistry causing all sorts of modern diseases and health problems facing society. 

Climate change is the proof that these synthetic products and factory farm food products are not sustainable, yet they keep appearing on our shelves. Factory farms have literally replaced wild animals and wilderness with cheap hamburgers that cause disease. 70% of wilderness is gone in just 50 years.....50 years ago no one could believe it was even possible, but here we are....facing a crisis, yet not doing anything about it. 

In just 50 years they have destabilized earth systems nearly to the point of collapse yet we still get propaganda suggesting things are not as bad a what scientists have been warning us about for over 40 years. (Scientific Panel) 

This is because we continue to buy stuff we don't need or that isn't good for us. Why....because of a corporate model and economic system that dictates what we do and don't do. We are all good students of propaganda and advertising. Its ingrained in our psyche. We are a product of our social environment, and that is dictated by media, advertisements, brands and government, which are all controlled by corporate agendas. 

Corporations fund governments, environmental groups, most social events, the film industry, and the media. They all carry their corporate message to consume...consume....and consume more. Governments are therefore helpless at regulating multinational companies that treat the environment as either a commodity to be exploited, or a waste dump. 

It's crazy how we got here in just 50 years. Plastics and petrochemicals have  been around for only 80 years.....but wow, do they ever cause havoc to the environment that we depend on for our survival. 

It's kind of crazy when you think about it. We could solve the climate and environmental crisis by simply deciding to buy and eat things that are truly sustainable, things that are created by earth and return to earth when they are discarded. Simple right!!!  

This type of thinking leads to a far better, localized economy, healthier minds and bodies, spiritual connections to what really matters.....just all around greater inner peace and haromony with nature.....but that means less control by the mega rich who seem to want to control us right into the face of the monster. 

We can each work to change this bleak outcome by simply adopting a "sustainable life style". 

Future generations depend on our sustainable choices now, so they too can thrive on this beautiful planet for an eternity.

That means that before we buy any product we need to ask three simple questions :

"Does this food product come from a sustainable source of agriculture....truly sustainable."

"Does the making of this product contribute carbon to the atmosphere?"

"Does this product contribute pollution to the environment when it is discarded....is it bio-degradable?" 

By acting on the answers to these two questions with your power as a consumer, a voter and a tax payer; and by purchasing green eco-products when available, we can each participate in the solutions to our  environmental problems and  evoke change. 

By simply changing our purchasing habits!
