Dear Member of the Human Race,

The problem

This is the problem, In 20 to 30 years a large percentage of our oceans may be dead. The oceans supply’s us with 70% of our oxygen.

What is causing this problem is use of chemicals and the use of natural resources at an alarming rate. The overfishing of our ocean  and the heating of the planet is killing our coral reefs. The excessive production of livestock is greatly affecting our oceans and increasing methane gas emissions. The ocean is what keeps the planet cool and provides us with many elements necessary for human life.

Some Stats

1.    8 million tons of plastic enter our oceans every year.

2.    50% of the Coral Reefs have been destroyed. The remainder will die in the next 20 to 30 years.

3.    Oceans absorb about a third of the carbon emissions of the planet thus heating up the water thus killing coral and plankton. These produce    about 70% of our oxygen.

4.    90% of large fish have disappeared from the oceans due to overfishing.

5.    51% of greenhouse emissions come from Animal agriculture.

6.    50% of the grains we grow are Fed to livestock. Enough to feed the Earths population.

There are plenty of other stats and data on this. Here are some good videos to watch and share to increase understanding of what is happening.

Cowspiracy

Animals, plants and other life forms can survive on this planet without us. We cannot survive without them, therefore a view point shift needs to occur in humanity to make other life more important than us.

This is a problem that no man, woman or child on planet earth can escape. Regardless of your race or creed on our planet it affects you.

.

Regardless of status, rich or poor then this will affect you and your family. This problem resolved or not could be the difference between our existence or our extinction along with many other plants, animals and life forms on our planet.

The Solution

1.    Massive depopulation

2.    A coordinated effort to unit the human race to create a major shift in the way we live.

Firstly point 1 is a somewhat unethical way of resolving this problem and will result in more harm than good. If a group was to commit such a transgression then it would result in their own demise as the correct solution is one that takes into consideration the greatest good for the greatest amount of species. The transgression of wiping out 90% of the population will result in those committing that crime do die themselves.

The second point can be achieved but needs to be planned out so as bring about maximum agreement and coordination between countries.

This could be achieved through the UN, WHO, Governments, the Trilateral Commission and other groups with this purpose. A coordinated effort from these groups could help to execute a plan to create a major change in our living.

There is nothing more important at this point in time and in our history for that fact than the major shift in the way the human race lives. Your house, your bank account, your clothes, your job, everything is of second importance to this objective. If we don’t turn this around in the next 20 to 30 years then we may not have enough oxygen to breath or food or water.

We need to start Now!

The Plan.

The overall objective: Build towns and cities which don’t contribute to the degradation of the natural world and don’t need things like steel, plastics, carbon, concrete or convert the current cities. In the current cities there is plenty of office space used to run company’s which create unnecessary material things. Some of these could be converted into accommodation and some used to create organisations which coordinate and further the natural world and humanity.

Cities where we the use of chemicals are limited. Where animals and plants can be grown by the citizens to feed the families. Getting back to basics of living of the land, actual sustainable food production. Money would become obsolete and a system put in place to survive as a species. Exchange through helping and advancement of our civilization where we can have a healthy thriving planet and race and can also advance to the stars and other planets.

This way of living will probably be a reality adjustment for a lot of people but if you think about what will happen if this is not done, then people will adjust.

These new cities could be gradually built and then people shifted to this new way of living. The old cities could just be left for the natural world to take over or converted into cities which become fully environmentally friendly.

Right now individual people, families and groups should start working to do what they can to improve the current situation.

Plan for families and groups.

1.    Continue life as normal but start making daily changes. Get educated on what is happening to our planet and share the knowledge to help raise awareness.

2.    Form groups  and make a plan to getting back to living off the land and cleaning up the existing environment. Join groups which are already doing these things.

3.    Get your existing house self sufficient and environmentally friendly as possible

4.    Go camping with family and groups and start practicing basic survival skills. This will help bridge from the current way of living to a simpler way of living.

5.    Plant trees.

6.    Change to a plant base diet.

Plan for Governments

1.    Divert all military operations and funding to this cause. National security wont be necessary if there’s no one to protect.

2.    Use the navy to help Sea Shepherd to get rid of illegal fishing boats and put a ban on boats using nets and have to go back to using men on rods.

3.    Work with animal agriculture company’s and farms to convert to growing sustainable plant food for humans and replenish the land with native forests.

4.    Financial program to support people withdrawing from dairy and beef farming.

5.    Educate people on the importance of eating plant based foods, from a health viewpoint and environmental viewpoint.

6.    Put together a plan to create these cities,  looking at old technology to live off the land and restore nature.

7.    Incorporate new technologies into this plan which don’t affect the environment.

8.    Put together a good marketing campaign to educate the population on the importance of this plan, incorporating it into schools, universities and social media.

9.    Educate people to not have more children for the time being until things can be brought back to a safe working system for the natural world.

10.Work out a plan to allow citizens to help with this project.

11.Review the government budget to work out where unnecessary money is being spent and divert to this cause.

12.Stop companies  making plastic. Only use recycled plastic.

13.Program to clean up rubbish on Land and Sea and recycle it.

14. Program to reforest the country and replenish the oceans.

15. Program to educate people on ethics and basic morals.

These are just some points to this plan, there are many others which need to happen. There are a lot more intelligent people around than I who could put a better plan than this together. My point is we just need a coordinated plan which doesn’t involve wiping out 90% of the population, so that the natural world can replenish.

One realization that needs to occur is that we don’t need more possessions, more material things, more money. We need more oxygen, plant food, animals, more natural environment. All our material things will become obsolete and worthless if we cannot solve this problem. There is so much more pleasure to be had from living life as a species along with the natural world.

Each persons actions count. The most important thing right now is to get educated on what’s happening to the oceans and forests and the effects of global warming and educate others about what’s happening.

It is possible to turn things around. What will stop this change from occurring is the lack of agreement and coordination. Plus if people are not educated to confront this situation they will just sit back and ignore it and take no action. Or others will try to convince you that this is not a problem, there is simple saying that is very effective in working out the facts of something.

LOOK DON’T LISTEN. Look at the stats from scientists around the world on global warming, look at the documentaries that show physical evidence of the coral reefs dying, the plastics in our oceans, the clearing of our forests, the overfishing. These are things you can perceive with your own senses and rationality and will burn through any untruths you may be told.

If enough people become aware of the fact that our planet is dying then we can make a view point shift in humanity to save our planet and ourselves.
