Controlling Dept: Though lowering my human footprint is very important, controlling my debt and managing my money is equally important. I have only 1 credit card now with a low credit limit and 2 debit cards. I only buy what I need and not what I want. I also need to add more to my savings account. Watch this short movie about our national debt I.O.U.S.A

Education is the strongest and the most effective tool known to Humans:
"It's hard to implement action and positive change without the necessary knowledge"

3 Major things that happened way to fast for enough Humans to react to:
Our over use and dependency of fossil fuels.
Our irresponsible and misunderstood economic growth.
Our over population explosion.

These problems are not new and were foreseen by thousands. We have known about these issues for at least 40 years now and still we are reacting way to slow then simple common sense dictates.

"There has been too much emphasis on treating the disease and not enough emphasis on the cure"

Most of us are completely unaware of the levels of destruction and suffering embodied in the stuff that we buy and in the choices that we make. To rid ourselves of this ignorance will not be easy.
But it will have to be done in order to insure our children's survival and to evolve as a species.    

Green living or sustainable living is intelligent living. So the word intelligent must be emphasized when describing eco-friendly living because that is what it is. When people hear the word intelligent they will want to know more about that subject because everyone wants to be intelligent. People have a hard time understanding and accepting terminology like environmentally friendly, sustainability or recycling. Mostly because being environmentally conscience is so new to a lot of people that we have not completely found the words to fully explain it in ways that are totally understood by everyone. Money is not an accurate, or even a correct way, to measure the importance of the actions we must all take to protect our world and human civilization. You will never begin to understand the cost of our actions if you use only money as a guide. You have to look at all the elements, all the facts, and all the results in order to even come close to understanding the whole picture. The green buildings that are being built today are excellent. They require less maintenance, cost less to operate, they are less dependant on non-renewable resources and last longer. So these models of intelligent building that we have today are fantastic and give everyone living examples to improve on and to follow. But living by example will never be enough if we don’t include this knowledge in our education system.
Single people are one of the world's greatest resources. Being single should be looked upon as a honorable life choice. Single people can dedicate them selves to the world and provide a great service that helps the needy and helps the uneducated to become educated. This way families can focus more time and energy towards their family instead of having to spend precious time away from their family to combat the worlds problems that are over whelming families.
When it comes to our world environment, I want to help educate people about the effects that we all have on our earth and the effects that we all have on our eco-systems that keep us alive and sustain life for millions of other species. I want to make people aware of all the right choices that we can make so that everyone has a clear understanding of their impact on the planet. But educating people is not an easy task. It will take incredible patience and an enormous amount of ingenuity. Educating people will need the support from everyone. So the first thing we must teach is the extreme importance of education, not the education that we all know today, but the education that is not being fully shared and the education that is not being fully understood. Today we have so much more information and knowledge, of the world, and ourselves, that is tremendously important to our understanding. We need a consensus and total world involvement in organizing and distributing all this important information and knowledge. If we don’t take this action to improve our education system, billions of people will continue to suffer from our own ignorance.
The major problem has always been education. People can't act or understand what is needed without knowledge. Our education system has failed us and needs to stop failing us beginning right now. If every educator and every parent on this planet were to educate every child and themselves on what actions and choices they could make to secure human survival and secure our planets survival with all its species and wonders, our chances for survival and our increased quality of life will not just double, but triple. There are powerful and greedy people who don't fully understand our dilemma, but with enough educated people we will surely over whelm them into change, as well as over whelm our politicians into making the right choices and sacrifices that we all have to make. And it’s not just living within our means either because some people actually believe that they have the right to be wasteful just because they can afford it. We have to live within the world’s means, and the world cannot afford anything right now. Plus, people who do have money have it easier to make positive changes then the people who are just fighting for survival because their options are limited. So it’s time to put away our childish ways and grow up fast. This does not mean the American dream is over, it just means the American dream has become more defined and more responsible. This amazing journey of change will bring us closer together and make us clearly understand our values, which have become obscured by deceiving images by our corporate media. It's time to join the millions who have already made changes because we desperately need the support of everyone in order to prosper.

 The Amazon rain forest is the largest rain forest in the world, 1.5 million square miles (1.7 billion-acre jungle), covering about 40 percent of South America. Makes up more than half of the rainforests remaining on the planet, producing over 20 percent of the world’s oxygen and home to more than one-third of all living species in the world. It is the source of one-fifth of the Earth’s river water. The Amazon is situated in nine countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the river, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon river is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States

By adding the value of the various services that forests perform, such as providing clean water and absorbing carbon dioxide, an EU-commissioned study estimates that the annual cost of forest loss is between $2 trillion and $5 trillion, which is not including the loss of human and animal life.
