Why Are We so Sick?

This may help explain why we are so sick. BUY NOW! The Shopping Conspiracy is a documentary on Netflix and YouTube and we encourage everyone to watch it -- just in time for the pollution season.













The garbage we've been filtering through our bodies and ultimately dumping into our oceans and landfills is finally catching up with us.







The question Why Are We So Sick? is not just a rhetorical one but a pressing health inquiry that demands our attention. Recent studies have raised alarming concerns about the prevalence of microplastics in our drinking water and human tissues, including our hearts, brains, and even reproductive organs. The implications are still unclear, leaving doctors and scientists grappling with the potential health threats lurking beneath the surface of our convenience-driven lifestyles.


To find answers to why are health is worse than ever, we encourage everyone to watch, "BUY NOW . . . The Shopping Conspiracy", just added to netflix and also on YouTube. 


Conditions will only worsen with the new Trump administration, vowing to rollback, cancel any and all environmental safegards. BUT it's what you voted for.

The alarming truth


Our health is intricately linked to the pollution we create and the waste we generate. As we continue to consume and discard without thought, the consequences are manifesting in our bodies and our environment. The single use plastic pollution choking our oceans and the landfills overflowing with discarded packaging are not just distant problems; they are reflections of our collective choices. The processed foods that are so easily accessible often come wrapped in layers of plastic, contributing to a growing cycle of waste that ultimately poisons the planet and ourselves. 


The toxins we encounter in our environment can lead to a myriad of health problems, from chronic illnesses to mental health challenges. 


There are actionable steps we can all take to reduce waste and pollution. Start by reducing single-use plastics in your daily life, opt for reusable bags, containers, and straws. Support local farmers and choose organic, whole foods to minimize reliance on processed items that come packaged in plastic. 


Participate in community clean-up events to help remove litter from our neighborhoods and oceans. Every small action contributes to a larger movement towards sustainability and health.

The Cost of Our Comfort and Convenience

Image
Our insatiable desire for ease and luxury is driving a global crisis in food, water, and climate. We can't simply throw money at the problem and hope it goes away. It's time for us to take responsibility for our actions and make real changes in our daily lives. We must reduce our carbon footprint, use resources more responsibly, and prioritize sustainability. The cost of our comfort and convenience is too high to ignore any longer. In the United States, depending on where you live, everything is dropped in your lap. Food can be quickly acquired by shouting your order into a microphone and driving around a building, all without you having to leave your car. And if you live in a larger town or city, with the advent of services like GrubHub and DoorDash, the food delivered to your home is no longer the domain of pizza chains. You can have your choice of practically any restaurant in town brought right to your door within 45 minutes. But it isn’t just about food. Instacart offers p...

Corporate greenwashing

We often hear corporate politicians making grand statements about their efforts to end climate change. However, it is disheartening to see that most of it is just greenwashing. But let's not forget, they are not the only problem. We, the people, keep electing incompetent, self-serving, privileged bureaucrats and fail to hold them accountable. It's time to take responsibility for our role in causing climate change and demand action from our elected officials. We can't keep pointing fingers, it's time to hold ourselves accountable. It is a common claim among marketing companies and corporations that they are concerned about the environment. However, if this were truly the case, they would make it their priority to do everything they can to fulfil all their claims starting by eliminating all needless packaging and work with  every supermarket and big box store to  provide state-of-the-art recycling centers and make them as convenient to use as finding cases of disposabl...

The Misinformation Crisis

Image
Social media has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we communicate and share information, but it has also had a crippling effect on our actions towards climate change. People are frozen in place, unsure of what the truth is anymore and reluctant to speak out or get involved for fear of offending someone or their peer group.  This inaction has led to a dangerous mindset that the climate crisis is "someone else's problem." However, the truth is that the water and food crisis is already upon us, toxic green algae is poisoning our lakes and streams, and our oceans are becoming plastic dumping grounds. If we, as individuals, don't start taking simple steps such as driving less, biking/walking more, and using reusable water bottles and shopping bags, we will continue to be pawns of mainstream media, big corporations, and corrupt politicians. It's time to take action and make a positive impact on our planet. Are you tired of wasting your time watching mindless commercial...
