I can only answer A well maybee B I try my best not to litter because i want some of this wilderness left for my children i mean shit gotta have somthin beautifull to look at.

 

Why get involved? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. To live the most Karma-free lifestyle you possibly can, AND then to spread it to those your life touches, THEN you are worth something actually needed on this planet. F___ getting a job for everyone. The earth can no longer afford that. People have to learn to get by on less. Maybe you have or haven't been in the world for a long time, but cars, for one thing, have not been in existence for all that long, and look at that single damage....Vegans do better because they know and feel that humans are meant to be herbivorous. But it's kind of like having your first kid--You don't know the joy until it's there. But to me, it's playing my part of a perfect plan.

You can start with one thought: If I don't have to kill to eat, why should I?

You can go to your nearest health food store and find a good nutrition book, one that's got lots of food value charts, so you can find the most consentrated forms of the vitamins you want in the fruits and veggies you buy. And don't get hung into the vitamin suppelements that will claw out at you, just like in any other store. Nutritional yeast, Orgainic canola and/or olive oils, & organic fruits, vegetables, beans and grains are all you need. Syrups are wonderful too. Molasses, Sorghum, Barley malt, etc. They are nutritive sugar replacements and taste yummie in a smoothie. I like to use soy milk as a base. Rice milks are available, too, almond too. It can get pretty interesting, depending on how much money you have to spend. Hungry yet? Maybe someday you'll be fit to thrive on raw. Fitness is really where it's at.

 

A- What are your personal reasons for becomming an environmentally active person?
Because I care about this Planet more than anything... I start to feel sad and depressed and hurt whenever I see the Planet getting poluted or injured in some way, and I feel good helping Her out. We've only got one Planet, you know...

B-Can anyone tell me where/how i should start?
If you live in a big city, check out the local activist groups...if you're around the Bay Area I suggest Circle of Life, Julia B is one cool chick... if you're nowhere close to a city, start recycling, dress in more clothes instead of turning up the heat, walk from place to place instead of driving, eduacte people on recycling and conservation (of the things I stated above), plant trees, start a garden...the possibilites are endless.

C- (If this applies to you) why do you support vegetarianism? im thinking i might become one, but i want your imput!
I like being healthy. Since I've stopped eating animal shit I've never felt better, and I've been acne free for a looooooooong time (ever since I stopped eating meat). The thought of eating pesticides and antibiotics grosses the shit out of me. And luckily for me, I don't really enjoy the taste of anything animal.

 

thank you all for your imput!
