A Call From the Wild: Come Home

I call on Americans and people of the world to live more simply, more cheaply. I invite you to reduce your use of cellular phones. Avoid their hidden fees and microwave-level RF radiation. You can hard boil an egg with a cell phone in 65 minutes.

I invite you to drive less and work or shop closer to home, or on the internet. Of course visit friends everywhere, but consider a bus. Get a more fuel efficient vehicle or convert your vehicle to run on biodiesel or ethanol. You'll save money, protect the environment, and reduce the planet and economy's fuel load. Buy a slightly used car instead of a new car.

Eat healthier. Buy organic foods and cook for yourself and your family. Avoid going to national fast food franchises.

Turn off the TV. If you don't need the extra TV, sell it or throw it away. Avoid cathode ray tubes. Think twice about buying that second computer and instead save the money, tithe, or use your time differently. Exercise more. Buy a bike with a comfy seat.

Buy more of your clothes from the salvation army or goodwill. Donate more of your clothes to the salvation army or goodwill.

Start a garden. If you're building a home or want to, make it earth sheltered or earth birmed, and put a garden on the roof of it. A well built earth sheltered home will help insulate and protect you from all manner of troubles. Consider adding solar panels or a wind turbine if your areas is conducive to alternative energy. If you live on a river make your own waterwheel 1890's style.

Turn off lights and computers when not in use. Try to use your air conditioner and heater less.

Talk to your senator and representatives. Talk to the Supreme Court. Talk to the White House. But first, get informed with all the information you can receive. Do not listen to what they say on TV. Do your own research! You will enjoy the satisfaction you receive from educating yourself. Love yourself, and treat yourself and your neighbors well.
