How simple could you MAKE your lifestyle?

How much ambition would you be willing to SACRIFICE?

How self-sufficient are you WILLING to be?

Are YOU willing to DENY the corporatocracy your PARTICIPATION? To discontinue buying products made cheaply overseas by our slaves? To discontinue, as much as POSSIBLE (over time, ENTIRELY), using fossil fuels, and products made using fossil fuels (such as plastics, nonrenewable polluting electricity and other energy, crops grown by gargantuan agribusiness using fossil fuels as a key ingredient in fertilizers AND pesticides, even asphalt-- that is, roads-- are made from fossil-fuel bases)...?

YOUR every action is political. Inaction of those who deny their culture's GENOCIDAL tendencies is a central component of the possibility of GENOCIDE. But there is a worse, more total threat than GENOCIDE.

ECOCIDE.

OUR combined actions are killing the planet-- starting with species, ecosystems, forests/ other "resources"-- likely ending with our own species; at the very least, our vaunted CIVILIZATION will certainly collapse. It ought to, it's what's doing all the harm!

OUR most potent ACTIONS involve becoming LOCAL, becoming INDEPENDENT of government, money, corporations in every arena of life possible.

It's POSSIBLE. EVERY other life form does it.

Our Species did it for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years (depending on the line you draw delineating "our species"). Many homo sapiens still do.

We did it, LIFE ON EARTH did it, for millions of years without threatening the existence of life on the planet.

CIVILIZATION is only a handful of thousands of years old-- and is on the verge of destroying planetary ecosystems.

It must, and will, collapse.

We-- EACH OF US-- YOU!-- must work to save as many species, ecosystems, life-support-systems (provided by the planet, free of charge-- though LOADED with built-in karma if we imbalance or destroy them) as possible...

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as many of us as possible MUST return to local self-sufficiency, must DENY governments and corporations our support-- by no longer supporting them with our money, our ambitions, our priorities, our CONSUMPTION.

We MUST NOT CONSUME WHAT THEY "PRODUCE".

IT IS PRODUCED AT THE EXPENSE OF PLANETARY LIFE.
