Earth Overshoot Day
August 21, 2010 marks Earth OVERSHOOT Day, the day when humanity’s total Ecological Footprint [measured in global hectares] equals the bio-capacity [also measured in global hectares] that nature can regenerate in that year.
For the rest of 2010, we accumulate debt by depleting our natural capital and allowing waste to accumulate. Please watch Annie Leonard video.

It's not your ability, it's your choices that influence how you experience life. Ways to show Earth, nature, one another, we care:
- Reduce excess soonest possible [food, clothing, stuff, mail, paper]
- Recycle: sell or donate excess, unused ‘stuff’
- Place junk mail back in the post box, as a signal to reduce waste
- Cancel unused subscriptions, flyers, notices, local newspapers
- Use both sides of paper; reuse courier envelopes, packages
- Use less toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towel
- Use a wet cloth with plain water to wash mirrors and glass; towel dry
- Reduce the temperature on your hot water tank
- Use less water to bathe, shorten showers; lower water pressure to brush teeth, shave, do dishes
- Turn off appliances when not in use; unplug appliances seldom used
- Purchase safe household, car and laundry cleaning products
- Use a clothes rack to dry clothes indoors and or outdoors
- Use appliances during off peak hours; dishwasher, laundry
- Ask suppliers for electronic statements instead of paper
- Choose vendors who produce and distribute in life sustaining ways
- Ask retailers to choose suppliers who produce, package and distribute in life sustaining ways
- Choose people, Earth and nature before profit
- Put used cigarettes only in an ashtray
- Turn off your vehicle when not in use, suggest same for rental cars
- Leave your driveway natural; end using oil based black top sealers
- Without judgment, delete e-mails that judge, denigrate or attack; what you oppose grows through focused attention and intention.
Release the Past Without Judgment
Aug 23, 2010
In response to viewer choices, mainstream media respond with invective attacks, to drive traffic. Media inflame rather than inform, to get and hold as many listeners as possible, to increase ratings and sustain presence.
To restore harmony, requires everyone, including media, to accept responsibility for how we influence energy. Until individuals see through a compassionate heart without judgment, unloving human interaction is energized and sustained.
Belief in separation led to extinction of civilizations during prior World Age Shifts. As our race passes through this Shift in conscious awareness of it, we either learn from the past or perish. A place to begin is for mainstream media to liberate the closest approximation of truth, so individuals choose a greater destiny or not. Media can also work with conscious luminaries and modern physicists, as the past transforms like caterpillar in a chrysalis, to make way for a New World.
When you remain neutral to the choices of others, you hold more Infinite Light, where darkness is unable to follow, and make the world better for everyone.
