We are the weather Jonathan Safran Foer

We are the weather - saving the planet begins at breakfastJonathan Safran Foer

We all have to choose to make a difference as little as I can be and as public as it can be

   Over the years my motivations changed because the available information changed because my life changed aging has proliferated  my identities ,  time softens ethical boundaries fosters a greater appreciation for what might be called the messiness of life 
      A pivotal moment in the Bible where God asks his people where they are he finds Adam hiding after eating the forbidden fruit and says where are you?and when he calls to Abraham before asking about sacrifice his only son clearly an omniscient God knows where his creations are his questions are not about the location of a body in space but the location of a self within a person

59% crop growing land is growing crops  for livestock 
1/3 of all freshwater that human use this for livestock 
70% of the antibiotics produced globally are used for livestock 
60% of all mammals on earth are raised for food 
There are 30 farm animals for every human on the planet
The four  highest impact things an individual can do to tackle climate change are :
1- eat a plant-based diet 
2- avoid air travel 
3- use the car less
4- have fewer children

I  could not see it because I was not looking for it
It’s a shame that instead of having a minority of climate atheists we have a majority of climate  agnostics
It is not enough to say that we want more life m, we must refuse to stop saying it! can you show me a home together which was arguing with ourselves and we shall make a home together
