The Question: What can I do and tell others to do to stop global warming?

A permaculture expert and manager of the Ocean Song Farm in northern California says even little actions can help.

"We're coming into a time of some incredible hardships, and we must take action in our little ways about what we buy, and what we do in our everyday life."

Global warming is a huge, huge in scale. And what can we do stop global warming? We can first look at, what are our needs? What is it that we want and what is it that we have? And that we need to set limits to our consumption. It’s the first thing one can to do, is look at what we need to survive. What we need to live? And set limits to the consumption so that we don’t consume so much. We need to set that limit. I mean tell others to not consume this much because it’s about consumption of our natural resources and of the ecological systems that are contributing to the factors of the global warming. The extraction of the blood of our mother, the Earth, taking that out and emitting it in to the air, taking that solar energy that’s embodied within the earth, and distributing that out into the world in an unprecedented speed and scale; it’s unpredictable what will happen as this global warming continues and can we truly stop it at the stage in the game or can we just do things to help mitigate it, and best prepare and find the creative descent from this ascension to which we’ve come. Because we're coming into a time of some incredible hardships, and we must take action in our little ways about what we buy, and what we do in our everyday life. And see that it is contributing in some form or another to this crisis. We can stop cutting the trees. We can use recycled products, creatively reuse. First thing in reuse, reduce and recycle, is reuse. Reduce is the first one, reduce, so limits the consumption. And tell others this is one big one to do, that they have a difference in any little part that we do, make differences. Walking instead of driving.
