I
just found you reviewing HEAT,
great summery. Bit shocking to U$.
The challenge of causing the climate-crisis ecospasms is from mostly
unconscious effects of consuming & waste by millions of happy shoppers,
unaware of energy used to make the goodies we use. Plus the solar energy blasts
of CME from solar-flares in peak-cycles super-charg-ing up earth &our wild weather!.
You
mention the basic problem of protesting the results of our behavior, waste
& polluting. The unique
campaign requiring 'austerity', conservation & slowing = power down. We need becoming more conscious of
causes & effects of our total energy, gross & net uses & waste into
nature. Even the
effects of consuming on
our health is equally unknown, except some allergies. I find that consuming
acids is toxic in air, water, food, drinks & pos-ions of heat & most synthetics.
Our
"ecological footprint' is a physical way to learn how much we use, need
& waste wherever we consume. Most of US have emotional challenge of unaware
needs & habits learned from schools & advertising. The learning curve is steep being un-aware
& deeper if addicted to consuming habits
while
assuming the infinite supply of importing energy & goods from beyond our
bioregion.
I
