[GMW #2656] Deciding Not To - For A Meaningful Life And Happines On Beautiful Planet Earth

Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

~ Idea 3049 ~

The time has come in human history when in order to save the Earth the decisions of people not to do certain things has become as important if not more important than to do certain things. This is quite fundamental since human beings are constantly assailed by colossal world-wide business, marketing and advertisement to do, to buy and to consume innumerable things which rob us of our most intimate nature, our meaning of life and happiness and destroy our Mother Earth.

Here are a few examples of decisions not to:
... not to watch television, not even to own one
... not to read newspapers
... not to drink alcohol
... not to drink carbonated drinks
... not to smoke
... not to go on tourism
... not to live in a big city
... not to accumulate goods
... not to buy unnecessary goods
... not to buy and consume artificial, processed foods
... not to sponsor and watch violent sports events
etc.

Such decisions taken by individuals and families could change the world. Why? Because there are 6 billion people now and we will be close to 9 billion in the year 2050. Every individual action multiplied by 6 to 9 billion can have an enormous influence on the fate of the Earth.

The above 'not to decisions' are even more important for the Earth in the rich countries since people in those countries consume thirty times more than those in the poor countries.

Please remember it. Please, for the Earth and nature's sake, for our survival's sake reduce unnecessary purchases, consumption and activities.

each year earned means a greater treasury
of experience and power l
aid up against time of need.
