Feeling the twinges of eco-anxiety? I admit it. I’ve stood at the supermarket fish counter, struggling to remember which fish are sustainably grown and which ones are not. I obsess over the deli containers tumbling out of my kitchen cabinet, worrying abo

... HELP ... "SAVE OUR EARTH" ... "Get Conscious" ... NOW !

The Problem..

- they are trying to promote mass hysteria,..

.. should I buy, food, or gas, or pay my rent, or worry about the Martial
law practice runs in the USA,..or worry about the rigged elections,
or should i worry about nuclear war, invading Iran, or getting out of
Iraq, or maybe I should worry about the water shortage, or starvation,
.. or how about 2012, or cruelty to animals, or our education system,
or health care, or chem trails, or poisoned food, atmoshere, or maybe the
Geneticaslly modified seeda and food, what about,. Cancer, or Aids, or
Autism, what about, the fact that the house of Windsor, owns the world,
and are trying to kill pretty well everything on this Earth.

THE ANSWER:

“The brain contains a system for calming,” she says, but the current culture undermines it by emphasizing speed, speed, speed, and activity, activity, activity. “We don’t know how to relax, how to quiet the mind, how to breathe, how to sit and be still.” For some, learning to find calm might mean reconnecting with a spiritual tradition. For others, it might mean practicing mediation or yoga. “People can’t act with complete wholeness and integration until they have that within themselves,” Tennant says. “Otherwise, they just go out and spread more anxiety.”

No Fear, No Fear, No Fear,... Love Love Love

I believe we are on the brink of disaster just from the population explosion alone.

But, even if it is all a scare tatic doesn't it make sense to stop all this living in the world of greedy want. Man has become so commercialized & conned to buy this & that or you will die not having whatever it is.

All of us must preserve, conserve what is left of water, air, land & the preservation of other species besides ourselves.

The best example of what I'm trying to say is look at Victoria Beckam....I see her as nothing but a two bit commercialized slut.....And all the commercialized world is telling/conveying to teenyboppers this is how to be.

Trust me....It is not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go ahead and be as worried, neurotic or crazy as you want it may save an indangered animal, it will lower your food bill, light, gas & water bills.

Yes, man is neurotic, maybe crazy is a better description.......Look what all of us have done to the earth......Now go crazy some more & fix it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see'em.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone.
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi
Plant trees for life..........
