It’s time to live. It’s time to get in touch. The hyper-consumer, capitalist, exploitative, environmentally degrading way of life we call “normal” or “reality” cannot continue. This lifestyle we’ve come to know isn’t working. We’re all suffering for it, and it’s not clear how much more our fragile planet can take. It’s time to reject what we’ve come to learn. It’s time to get back to basics. It’s now or never. You don’t have to take one big leap, though. It’s the small things that can make all the difference. Those small changes can lead to a bigger, more dramatic shift. You’ve gotta start somewhere, after all.
