How do we commit to carrying on this remarkably hopeful environmental activist’s work to protect all Earthlings and our Earth Home?
One thing we can all do without too much trouble is reshape our food habits and support our local farmers at farmers’ markets and independent grocery stores carrying local and regional farm produce. Goodall speaks eloquently about becoming a vegetarian to save the Rainforests threatened by corporations that clear cut to make room for more pasture land for the “beef” industry. (I put beef in quotes to remind myself that cattle are living beings, not inert blobs of flesh beneath celophane wrappers.) Her call to become plant eaters joins many others, including John Robbins, scion of the Baskin and Robbins ice cream corporation who rejected his family’s millions to pioneer plant-based food awareness.
