Beware of the “Future Bitches”
A lot of people I know are concerned about the future. Some of them though are Future Bitches. This I do not like. Imagine you’re having a pleasantly proactive conversation about the years to come. You and some friends are enthusiastically weighing up the problems and solving them in your imagination then and there – happily assuming everyone will go along with your ideas. Uh–oh, the Future Bitch is revealed by the signature conversational bomb of their kind: “we’re not going to make it.” This turns the conversation into a discussion of post-apocalyptic survival techniques, and how undeserving earthlings are because they’re so dumb and destroying their

Food Inc – Unveils the Industrial Food Complex
When you see what people eat everyday in documentaries like these you feel like sticking your fingers down your throat. Or if you’re lucky like me and some perfect saint put you onto veganism, you’re feeling very, very grateful. You’ve got to watch it. Food, Inc. is a  conscious, humane and educational documentary – a very large step in the right direction. The theme is we consumers have the power to change world around us. But we need to be conscious and informed – we need to wake up and we need to care. Just about everything about our food needs to be changed but there’s no need to make revolution. The system can be chang

How Earth became Vegan
I was talking to a friend of mine who seemed pessimistic about the future. He’d seen the info so he knew that peoples’ eating habits were the main equation. He didn’t expect change to happen in time. We stood outside the house. “C’mon,” I said, wishing he could feel more positive. “You never know how things might change. Things can happen. It might be a big surprise!” At that moment I myself got a surprise. My friend glanced down for a fraction of a second and of all possibilities his eyes fell straight on a four leafed clover. “See?” I said. Later I searched the garden looking for a second one. Not to be found. I’ve always

Will Cows Rule the Earth in 2012? (Part 1)
With all this talk about quitting meat to help save the climate there are going to be a lot more vegans around than there already are. The panic hits you in the gut with sickening force: “OMG – cows will be roaming the city mall, nudging their way into my fries like one-eyed pigeons.” The logic at first seems reasonable: lots of cows, no one to eat or control them – they will breed out of control until their methane makes the planet flammable and it blows up.

Can COP15 Change Climate Change?
No – but you can, if you take notice of what I’m about to tell you. The United Nations is powerless. Governments hands are tied with red tape and their eyes are covered in green bills. Whatever they agree to in Copenhagen 2009, it will be based on their own policies, not the best interest of humanity (I hope they prove me wrong). We are the ones who will save our own world. What’s the truth I refer to? The only way to avoid global warming disaster is to…
