Some words from Planet Earth to You

Hello Human Being,

You are one of my heroes if you are volunteering 1164 minutes of every week to help slow down the climate change monsters that are killing the super rad and priceless species and ecosystems that live on me.

For me, your 576 minutes are also dedicated to helping save 576 plus species that are in danger of extinction every day.

So thanks a big bunch to the every one of you EarthLovers who meet your EarthTime goal.

For all the life, Your Earth

PS: I like that one of you humans said this, “The greatest threat to our dying planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” I think Robert Swan said that.

EcoLogical Consumer

EarthTime44 [19.4 hours] is in addition to the time that every EcoLogical Consumer should give.

Even though the following are very important EcoLogical Consumer actions, the time it takes to do them does not count towards a person’s EarthTime44.

Some actions that count towards your EcoLogical Consumer time [but not towards your EarthTime44]::

+ Use very little fossil fuels.
+ Minimize the buying of unnecessary products.
+ Consume only plant-based foods as much as possible.
+ Use as little single-use plastic as possible.
+ Make one’s job or career as sustainable as possible.
+ Vote for environmentally smart candidates and initiatives as much as possible.
+ Bike, bus, carpool, rideshare or use other low CO2 travel modes.
+ Recycle and compost.

More actions that an EcoLogical Consumer can take is on the Green Minute Rule page.
