This World Earth Day let the date not be ahollow parroting of the propaganda to save our only one planet. Hypocrisy doesnot do anyone good – neither the planet nor our minds. So, proceed only if youactually want to see our mother planet get better – get restored. If you joinme, I will ask the tiniest of change and in return we will leave a morehabitable environment for our progeny.

Only one planet
In case it was not obvious already, we allhave one planet to live on. Yes, the endeavours to settle on other planets arecommendable and must be pursued, but still how we do one thing is how we doeverything.
So what is the guarantee that the nextplanet a colony of humans land will not be turned into the same disaster thatwe have achieved here.
No matter how many neighbourhoods or citiesor nations we relocate to, we are still the same, and so will be ourexperiences and the results.

The powers that be are all in connivance.Those who purport to save and watch guard the environment are the ones who arehand in glove with the exploiters.
You and I are ineffective in taking onthese corporations, government agencies, and social narratives head-on.
So what’s the way out?
Before that ask the question, do you wantto contribute or do you want to exploit?
If you want to exploit, then there is nothingto do, but your grandchildren will be eating toxic chemicals-laden food,breathing noxious air, and drinking poisoned water. Still, nothing on you.
If you want to contribute in the managementof the planet, the only effective way is to watch where you spend your money.
Yes, now we are ready for our single-point toolkit:
Meat industry is the number one cause ofall what is ailing the planet Earth. Now, if you love eating non-vegetarianfood, then by all means, continue.
But if you are on the fence regarding meat consumption, then exploredocumentary Cowspiracy :The sustainability Secret and Seaspiracy on Netflix.
Bonus: Health advantages for you which the social narrative controlled by the industry denies, see Whatthe Health on Netflix.
Do not eat meat in any form – chicken, mutton, fish, etc. This is thesingle-most potent action an individual can take.
