I suspect part of the remedy is going to have to involve a scaling down of our expectations, our numbers and simplifying our lives. It seems to me that complexity has multiplied to the point that many of the benefits afforded by extreme complexity are far outweighed by the drawbacks.veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-40192627540301848212011-09-18T07:41:52.477-05:002011-09-18T07:41:52.477-05:00I don't know if it's just part and parcel ...I don't know if it's just part and parcel of becoming aware - Or if it's just a quirk built in to just me...

No solutions here (I'm not quite ready to give up my TP either), but I think a step in the right direction would be for all of us to become more mindful of what our choices actually mean and what the consequences actually are.

I remember seeing a cartoon with a cow and there were numerous arrows pointing at it listing all the things that human beings take from cows to produce various products, only a small percentage of which happens to be meat.
