How you Drive Change

For decades, scientists warned we must change how we produce food or face disaster. Many of us grew up thinking this would be a problem for future generations. We figured our power to change anything was just too small. After all, as mere consumers, what could we do?

We recycled. We saved aluminum cans, put plastic, paper, and cardboard into a special bin. We conserved water, even letting our lawns dry out in some places. We knew our individual efforts couldn't do much. But what's the worry when the reports talk about catastrophic climate change in the year 2100? Few among us today will be alive to see that.

Big media is sponsored by the same people responsible for the problems we face. People who have the money and power to make changes are investing in keeping us pacified on a diet of junk media, and junk food. Even news is just entertainment now. These powers spread crafted and curated messages claiming to be part of the solution, but if so then why are the problems getting worse? The honeybee population is collapsing, along with other pollinating insects. Crops are so genetically modified they no longer drop fertile seeds. And our supplies of meat are still coming from dirty, fetid feedlots and slaughterhouses where nightmare conditions reign. Our land is drying up, our water is laden with pesticides, and our food becoming more expensive. Although wrapped in more layers of cardboard and plastic than ever before, there is nothing you can do when the food itself is dirty, except throw it away.
