Ecology For Everyday Life

Ecology does not mean only wearing green shirts, manifestations against nuclear reactors, planting trees and saving whales on the beaches. To live ecologically means to understand, that every my acting can influence my environment. There are thousands of things we do daily that can harm nature and people around us. One man could not save the world. Everybody must to contribute to common effort.

It is machinery of money, that destroy our lives. Consumption style of life forces us to buy things we do not really need. Small example: my friends complained to me of much money he spend for food. He showed me his recepy from hypermarket, where he use to shop. I could not believe my own eyes. He bought tree different sugars - normal to the coffee, vanilla sugar also to the coffee and cinnamon sugar to cakes. He also bough canned whipped-cream and milk. Everything only for coffee! And he uses to buy two sorts of coffee-one for himself and one for visitors. There were two cacaos- normal and sweet, tree sorts of chocolate and chips. I
I asked him, why he need all of those things. He is adult man, so why so many sweets? He told me, that he is hard working and this is his reward as he can see in the advertisements on the TV.

When I look at this purchase by my eyes, I see only lot of useless stuff which package causes a lot of rubbish. We shout think very carefully before we buy something, if we really need it.
