Today the Earth's community of living things, its biosphere (which includes us), is endangered. Quite possibly nothing threatens the welfare of Life on Earth more than human behavior. If you are a participating member of any consumption-oriented culture -- especially if you live in the United States -- you are responsible for unnecessarily destroying the Earth's Biosphere.

We are responsible because we use things which, when they are produced and sold, result in activities that damage or destroy parts of the Earth's living zone, its biosphere. A flip of the light switch is an order to the utilities to create air pollution and radioactive wastes as they produce electricity for your lamp. Since 77% of the Earth's agricultural land is dedicated to meat production, eating meat carries its environmental price. Allowing yourself to continue environment-degrading behaviors, and to not recycle, are profound statements about your own code of ethics and sensibility to Life on Earth. Making the effort to consume less, and to work to rehabilitate the Earth's living biosphere can be a new beginning not only for yourself but for the Earth.
