About me: We are the campaign to reduce individual and collective consumption by 10%.
Please copy and paste the Reduce 10.com banner question into your own myspace page, website, and/or blog:
Why place the banner question on your site?
Well, besides the beautiful blue sky, fluffy white clouds, and lovely green grass (all nicely contrasted against the black background)...
...our nifty banner will serve to continually remind you (and your friends) that reducing our daily consumption by 10% is a completely sensible, feasible, reasonable, attainable goal with many wonderful creative benefits, for you, and everyone else.
And it's actually pretty easy to do once you give it the least bit of sane thought... say, oh, far less than 10% of your normally idle brain-power.
That aside, be sure to visit this page regularly for new tips and ideas. You can even add reduction strategies and suggestions yourself!
T'is not just a season, but it is the beginning. We are evolving and growing and becoming. We are going to make changes and honor within the goodness around us and inside us and then... We will generate this energy and surround our soul with all that makes us feel happy and whole.
And with this we share, with others of like mind, honoring all that is gentle and kind. We'll surrender the negative and with this be true, to a Happy New Year, as change has become due. We will address any problem and develop a solution, and we will move forward with Zen Evolution.
Happy 2009!

Thank you for joining our circle of friends. Welcome. - We would like to invite you to visit our website and read about the variety of different free, healthy and life saving solutions, available right now, that we can all take advantage of, to save our one and only home Planet Earth, and to ensure a sustainable green future for all of us, the humankind.
We must keep in mind that, united we stand and prosper, but divided, we have been falling for many, many years. Let us learn how to unite and work together, let us learn how to transform the information offered on our website, into positive and constructive action, in order to solve humanity’s major ecological problems, One Problem, at a time. - Ranking number 1, on top of our list of major manmade environmental problems, obviously is the Global Warming.
Keep in mind that silence solves nothing, it never has, and it never will. Our silence will encourage more environmental devastation, violence and corruption at all levels, all over the world. Our silence will help to defeat and silent the peaceful ethical voices of reason and common sense. - It is our civic duty and moral obligation, to get involved and never be silent, to solve our many problems, by simply casting the light of truth and exposing the source of the problem, followed by enlightening educational measures to solve the problem through a peaceful conflict resolution.
There are only 2 ways of spreading the light of truth and hope, either to be the source of light, truth and hope, The Projector, or be The Mirror, that spreads and reflects the light of truth and hope to others, which one are you? - Next time you see the angelic smile of sweet, innocent little angels, our children, running around, growing up in this world, stop and think for just 1 minute, think about what kind of a polluted Home, we are raising them in, and the Home we are leaving behind for them.
Land degradation: Expansion of livestock production is a key factor in deforestation, especially in Latin America where the greatest amount of deforestation is occurring – 70 percent of previous forested land in the Amazon is occupied by pastures, and feedcrops cover a large part of the remainder.
Biodiversity: Indeed, the livestock sector may well be the leading player in the reduction of biodiversity, since it is the major driver of deforestation, as well as one of the leading drivers of land degradation, pollution, climate change, overfishing, sedimentation of coastal areas and facilitation of invasions by alien species.
*Note: The term “livestock” refers to all farmed animals, including pigs, birds raised for meat, egg-laying hens, and dairy cows.
Your list is lacking the one tip that stands to do the most good. That is somewhat disappointing as the evidence is overwhelmingly clear:
“The way that we breed animals for food is a threat to the planet. It pollutes our environment while consuming huge amounts of water, grain, petroleum, pesticides and drugs. The results are disastrous.”
David Brubaker, PhD, Center for a Livable Future, Johns Hopkins University, Environmental News Network, 9/20/99
A single dairy cow produces about 120 pounds of wet manure per day, which is equivalent to the waste produced by 20–40 people. That means California’s 1.4 million dairy cows produce as much waste as 28–56 million people.”
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Notes from Underground, Fall 2001
The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent. This is a higher share than transport….Livestock are also responsible for almost two-thirds (64 percent) of anthropogenic ammonia emissions, which contribute significantly to acid rain and acidification of ecosystems.
