Pollution and ecological destruction, while very obvious at its source, creates a long-term subtle diminishment in the quality of life.

Pollution can have a negative impact on everyone else in surrounding areas as well. Furthermore, it has negative consequences even for the entire world. This means greater Co2 in our atmosphere and accelerated global heating. It will take hundreds of thousands of years for nature to restore Co2 levels back to normal. Moreover, all the extra pollution (besides the Co2) means reduced health, fertility problems, chronic fatigue, widespread depression and suicide. Expect increased stress, and reduced overall quality of life as well. Your environment and quality of life always has to take the final impact.

The one thing really lacking the world over is wisdom combined with respect for those with the highest scientific credentials. After all, to properly manage the forests, the oceans, the rivers, lakes, and all other essential resources with the care it desperately needs, the political will has to be present too. It’s asinine whenever powerful fossil fuel interests take control over certain political parties to meet their own polluting agendas! It then gives them free reign over vast ecologically sensitive areas such as rainforests and even entire countries!

Protect your environment from too many greedy people trying to exploit it!

It doesn’t take much brain power to realize that the more dense the population, the more consumption of vital resources, starvation, famine, and therefore much suffering is likely to take place. Never forget the long-term consequences considering any decision whether or not to create more children.

Additionally, the sort of methods used to grow food, and how biological diverse the food supply will be has huge consequences. Avoid making mistakes such as growing too much of one type of food like wheat or corn. Using chemicals to fertilize crops and glyphosate to kill the weeds is a terrible practice!

Chemical agriculture results in the mineral, mycelium, and microbial depletion of the soil. Consequently, this increases the need to use even more toxic pesticides. All of the above is having disastrous effects on the surrounding ecosystems. Frogs and toads are dying off. Insects and birds are disappearing around the world. Fewer and fewer insect pollinators are available to pollinate the flowers for nuts, seed, fruit and other healthier crops.

Biologically diverse organic farming is always more sustainable and much healthier for your environment.

It would be far better for everyone to rely more heavily on vegetarian sources of protein. Never consume mammal (red) meat because it comes from animals with feelings. Eating mammal meat supports the distasteful factory farm industry of slaughtering countless innocent animals. Cattle and hog farms are one of the single largest methane pollution sources in the world. Methane is hundred times more potent than Co2 as a contributor to the green house effect.

The global dependency on fossil fuels for most of everyone’s energy requirements is another huge mistake.

One needs to explore all manner of alternative sources of energy  and put these into production as soon as possible! Otherwise, we could escalate the deleterious effects of global warming! This means rising oceans, extremes in weather, droughts, terrible fires, and the massive desertification of previously productive and fertile lands.

The process of global warming is slow and insidious. Many like to say it is simply a part of the natural cooling-heating cycles going on for hundreds of thousands of years. However, recent sharp increases in global average temperatures disputes that assumption. What humans are doing to our planet with fossil fuels is asinine. Those on the right side of the political spectrum seem oblivious of all the present and future climate catastrophes! For example, we endured massive oil spills like that terrible April 20, 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil gusher ruining parts of the Gulf of Mexico. And of course, local air pollution health problems abound! Among other horrors, they often lead to lung cancer, heart, and Alzheimer’s disease in vulnerable communities.

A widespread dependence on exterior conditions to satisfy one’s materialistic needs is the main cause of the damage.

Greed and exploitation is destroying vast natural resources including many plant and animal species throughout the world. Unprecedented population growth might in itself not be the cause, but rather the extra numbers of greedy people out there. If everyone were content with a more simple, spiritual lifestyle much more of our natural world could be saved. I really wish far more people would live in tune with nature rather than being so out of synch with it. If everyone correctly applied the philosophy of wholeness, there would be far fewer conflicts and problems to deal with.

One cannot abuse nature without nature rebelling.

Unforeseen natural catastrophes offset the benefits of so called progress. Materialistic, greedy industries run by fragmented thinkers affect your environment and quality of life in negative ways.

Big chemical companies such as Bayer and Monsanto are stealthily leading humankind into serious trouble. All the unnatural foods being created and consumed and changes in the water, oceans and atmosphere will lead to all manner of diseases, confusions, and other insidious miseries.

Glyphosate is not only destroys vital plants, but also vital soil microbes needed to absorb carbon from our atmosphere. Its residues in the grain products being consumed diminishes the number of varieties of essential friendly microbes in the average gut. Glyphosate and pesticide use threatens biodiversity on all levels! Moreover, vast mono crops soaked in all manner of insane chemicals and pesticides dominate our once fertile farmlands!

A large portion of the world’s population is crowded into contaminated environments!

far removed from the natural setting originally intended for life to exist in. Most people try to survive in an “urban hell” bound by busy streets and noisy air-polluting traffic.

Endless miles of asphalt and concrete parch the spirit of life. We build everything to accommodate these filthy gas-guzzlers rather than trees, animals and humans. The combustion engine is the worse “convenience” ever created or depended on!

Overpopulation nearly completely destroys the total harmony with nature and quality of life that our ancestors once enjoyed. Cubical structures insulate us from the primary energies of nature. Vast numbers of carbon-monoxide producing machines erode away the pranic vitality of the Earth’s atmosphere. Most solutions to regain your quality of life may be obvious, but not easy to implement. (See Save the Earth.) Some of the following ideas to save the planet may just remain wild ideas. Nevertheless, the following is a partial list of what could be done. Communities might do the following to reduce the exploitation of natural resources and create much needed improvements in the quality of life:

1 – Avoid driving those obnoxious, stinking, noisy combustion engine gas guzzlers as much as possible!

Everyone’s love of the automobile is an environmental catastrophe. To begin with, automobiles are dangerous, causing thousands and thousands of deaths and all manner of terrible injuries per year. Combustion engine fumes cause all sorts of serious consequences too such as brain, heart and lung diseases. The massive quantities of free radicals spewing forth from each tail pipe leads to all kinds of problems. Auto exhaust pollution alone causes depression, anxiety, confusion, headaches, anger, cancer, emphysema, birth defects, etc. It drastically reduces the quality of life by making the air really sick.

You won’t enjoy much quality of life on endless freeways and traffic jams!

Pollution from over 1.5 billion automobiles on the road combined leads the whole world to an unpleasant, hellish existence. Yes, cars suck! Noisy gas-guzzlers absolutely destroy what would otherwise have been a pristine, peaceful, quiet, and meditative environment. They suck in pristine, fresh, vibrant, God-given, life-supporting oxygen out of the air. Loud gas-guzzlers dump out unbreathable carbon monoxide, highly disrupting vibrations, and other toxic fumes in place of it! Whenever possible, either get on a bicycle or walk! Drive only if unavoidable. Then you will notice so much more beauty and opportunities in your own neighborhood, you can then finally relax much more, save money on gas, and feel at one with nature.

Too many have a bad habit of hopping in the car just to go a few blocks or even a few kilometers.

It is far better to walk, ride a bike or even take the bus. Even though motorcycles use far less fuel per mile than automobiles they tend to create massive noise! In this way, they very effectively destroy the quality of life. Conversely, electric motorcycles are everywhere now, less expensive and more available. I would try to avoid the use of anything with a combustion engine no matter how big or small. For example, I would never use a stinky, noisy, gas-powered mower, only an electric one. I not only walk to work, I also walk to do my organic grocery shopping regardless of how much I need. If more than usual is needed, I simply carry with me more canvas bags. If everyone would just do this, our roads would be much clearer, safer and quieter.

Unfortunately most depend far too much on vehicles to get around. Therefore it is essential we speed up the availability of electric and hydrogen vehicles. The cost of autos that run on hydrogen fuel cell technology continues to decline. They also become more efficient as designs improve. It generates Electricity in a process in which hydrogen combines with oxygen to create pure H2O! Imagine your car with only pure drinking water coming out of it’s exhaust pipe! They actually make the air cleaner than before!

2 Plant more trees, grow more plants, create more gardens, and grow your own organic food!

Create strong incentives for all communities to do all of the above! The world has suffered a MASSIVE loss of vegetation and forests since the industrial revolution began. Henceforth, we now suffer a reduction of oxygen and a huge increase of major greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. Consequently, all kinds of terrible climate and weather extremes and rising oceans are complicating our way of life. Furthermore, many more autoimmune problems and diseases spread by insects now take place as a result.

We now suffer more depression, reduced quality of life, and lack of spirituality than ever before.

One can trace depression, infertility, and cancer to the industrialization of our food. We now suffer losses of certain types of plant pollens, access to fresh countryside air, ionized oxygen, etc. All these blessings require the presence of a vast, misty forests of healthy, well-watered plants and trees. So poorly has Mother Earth been treated, we can no longer be so blessed by it. It is now more inclined to wipe us out with fierce droughts, psychotic fires, storms and floods.

Even though there may be other causes as well, I suffered tremendous grief and severe depressions from this loss of natural vital energy.

PLEASE avoid any unnecessary trimming or cutting of trees! Green plants are the purifying “lungs” of the earth. Evidently, they contain a life-giving subtle force and spiritual or “soul” energy. Whenever I see someone cutting down a tree, I naturally get very upset and angry. This person might as well be cutting out a part of everyone’s lung and a part of everyone’s soul!

3 – Create strong incentives for every community to be self-contained!

Rather than be dependent on outside sources for electricity, water, gas, sanitary needs, etc. be self-sustaining. Such wiser actions as these lead to greater prosperity, environmental quality of life and independence on the long-run. You depend on your environment to nurture and sustain you. “Self-contained” sources should consist of wind turbines, solar panels, hydrogen fuel cell electric generation plants, and sealed off methane producing systems utilizing “biomass” reservoirs from waste matter.

If everyone expressed that commitment in a very intelligent and efficient manner, your environment and your quality of life would improve for everyone dramatically. We need to build self-supporting communities so that all resources are responsibly managed and shared by all individuals.

4 – Replace all “gas guzzling” incandescent electric bulbs with much more efficient LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs.

LED bulbs utilize no more than a tenth of the power that incandescent (filament) light bulbs use to produce the same amount of light! In some cases, a 1.5-Watt LED bulb can replace as much as a 40-Watt incandescent bulb without sacrificing luminosity! That is the same amount of light for only 1/25 of the energy used! I am surprised more people don’t do this, because an average household can easily save hundreds of dollars a year in electric bills. LED bulbs seem to last forever compared to incandescent light bulbs too.

5 – The most obvious requirement is the need for population growth control without infringing on the rights of others!

We need to encourage all to avoid having more than two children per family. It may be far better to simply adopt children. Sadly enough, hundreds of millions of children in third world nations fend for themselves in dire poverty. Everyone must either do this or continue to suffer massive losses. The quality of life suffers not only today, but could also continue to diminish throughout all future generations.

Most of the energy and resources of any community goes to construction of new shopping centers, more housing, roads, freeways, water utilities, landfills, polluting power plants, hospitals, fighting crime, jails, etc. This is so absurd! If only population growth could just stop! Then vital energies and resources can instead dramatically improve your environment and quality of life! This would include the creation of parks, trees, botanical gardens, and free educational centers. There would be more nature reserves, recycling centers, alternative energy systems. We could enjoy more efficient, pollution-free transportation. Much more funds could be saved to pay off national and state debts, etc.

It makes no sense whatsoever for any couple to have any more than one or two children.

This is because of the vast numbers of people we now have. They are placing an incredible burden on the local and global environment! Especially now with so many more people living longer and growing so much larger in size! The present rate of global population growth simply cannot be sustained indefinitely! It could soon crash head on into some major calamity or disaster!

As a result, we face worldwide drought, famine, disease, and/or massive war! This also means severe and permanent damage to most plant and animal species. I would have to say what used to be such a positive, essential thing is now the worst thing! We are too many! More babies only guarantee more human suffering and misery than ever before! What is the point of continuing to create even more consumers of vital diminishing resources? What is the point of creating even more homeless, sick, starving and miserable people? It does not make sense!

Unfortunately it is usually the poorest countries that contribute to the fastest rates of population growth.

But it’s the richest countries that contribute the most pollution. The scariest part about this population explosion is how it is accelerating rapidly out of proportion! As more and more people are born every minute, more and more must inevitably suffer and die. The more people who are born, the more there will be in the future to create even more offspring! Until finally there is simply no more resources left anywhere on Earth to sustain any kind of decent lifestyle. Your environment is in great peril! One of the first things that is disappearing rapidly is the availability of safe drinking water and irrigation for farming.

What used to always be the most rational instinct is now the most irrational instinct.

Today, there is no reason whatsoever to create more humans other than to increase stress, wreck havoc on your environment, and decrease the quality of life throughout the world. Too many people increases the burden of survival on everyone else. Overpopulation plunges all nations deeper and deeper into debt and poverty. It is vital that everyone who reads this get the word out for the obvious need for population growth control in every country of the world. Please educate others on this most essential and vital need!

6) Support all propositions and measures that protect the environment from industrial exploitation!

Encourage the construction/preservation of parks, forests, natural preserves, zoos, aquariums, museums, libraries, and other educational centers. Discourage overpopulation or anything that can result in further urban expansion. Protect, respect and nurture your environment! Let’s place a strong emphasis on the “quality of life” rather than “quantity of life.” Unlimited growth is impossible to sustain indefinitely in a finite world without first making major, major sacrifices to the quality of life!

7) Invest in the companies that promote “earth friendly” renewable systems!”

In other words, organic agriculture, solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen fuel cell technology, and hydroelectric power. Please learn as much as you can regarding “earth friendly” and “socially responsible” investing. For example, AERT (Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies) is a recycling company that creates moisture resistant building materials out of waste wood fiber and reclaimed plastics. There are many other recycling companies out there, including one that develops microorganisms that break down pollutants and hazardous chemical waste. There are some companies that create natural gas and electricity from wood residues, paper mill waste sludge, and agricultural waste (biomass). Be alert for all kinds of old and new renewable technologies that could solve all sorts of environmental and financial problems.

All the money wasted on military expenses could have been used to develop and build vast arrays of wind and solar generators.

A much better quality of life would have been ours if vital natural and human resources not wasted so much on fighting wars, illegal drugs, tobacco, red meat production, oil dependent machines, and other environmentally destructive enterprises.

Your environment and quality of life must come first!

Instead of cooperating with each other and nature and instead of working together to create a much more beautiful, self contained, harmonious and loving global society, too much creative energy has gone into security and defense. A very tragic situation indeed. God has given humanity so much, yet so much opportunity for a much better world has been destroyed by ignorance, dogmatism, nationalism, materialism, prejudice, greed, fear and selfishness. Instead your environment and quality of life must come first! Otherwise, what is life all about if there is not enough nature left to enjoy?

8) Plant a tree! Honor Julia Butterfly Hill who single-handedly saved a redwood from loggers!

Visit her web site, “Circle of Life Foundation” and find out what you can do to make more responsible decisions regarding your impact on the environment and quality of life for everyone. All life is precious, we are all connected and interdependent. Learn how to be more responsible and aware of the consequences of your actions. You might want to read her eloquent words in “Julia’s Reflections on Big Mountain” that are so similar to my own sentiments about how materialism is wasting away what is profound and sacred.

Plant some trees for Julia and support The National Arbor Day Foundation! It is the largest tree-planting environmental organization in the world. Your environment and quality of life depend on vast, healthy forests and plenty of trees everywhere!

9) Respect, cherish and love all life.

Honor the rights of animals. Always love them, never eat them nor harm them in any way. Meat from slaughtered animals contains the neurohormones of the fear and terror! I don’t think modern humans need to consume mammals except only as a last resort during times of drought and famine or in harsh climates. Personally, I find vegetarian sources of protein much more appetizing than a dead pig, a large fish or bird. Birds, big fish, and especially mammals are emotionally conscious beings. Some individuals like myself are unable to go 100% vegan. However, in most cases one can still at least avoid eating beef, pork, lamb, bison, horses, etc. God incarnates in all life forms, and very often in the sparkle of your pet’s eyes, you can see the devotion it has for you.
