Gone Tomorrow: The Hidden Life of Garbage
by Heather Rogers
[film]
http://satyamag.com/aug03/reviews.html
... how “built-in obsolescence” has come to dominate our market economy since the second world war....
[book]
http://thenewpress.com
...dedicated to those who live and work with garbage...
http://www.alternet.org/story/27116/
...There's a reason landfills are tucked away, on the edge of town, in otherwise untraveled terrain, camouflaged by hydroseeded, neatly tiered slopes. If people saw what happened to their waste, lived with the stench, witnessed the scale of destruction, they might start asking difficult questions. Waste Management Inc., the largest rubbish handling corporation in the world...the logic of our society's unrestrained consuming and wasting quickly unravels...
...single largest recipient of New York City's garbage in Pennsylvania, a state that is the country's biggest depository for exported waste....
page 200
...dumps are owned by the garbage giants and located in rural areas accessible from dense urban centers...states have become trash hubs because of their geographical proximity...large swaths of undeveloped land and local economies hobbled by deindustrialization...
...counties with mega-fills, "residents are on average much poorer, less well educated and more likely to be African American than the average...located at points of least resistance...
Consume Locally, Dump Locally...
...Larry Summers, while chief economist at the World Bank, argued that "the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxicc waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable, and we should face up to it...Underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted..." It sounds appalling to the rest of us, but his observation was already common knowledge in the trash trade...

World Peace Diet
Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
by Will Tuttle 2005
http://veganoflight.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_veganoflight_archive.html
"The world is his who can see through its pretensions. What deafness, what stone-blind custom, what overgrown error you behold, is there only by sufferance - your sufferance. See it to be a lie, and you have already dealt it a mortal blow."
- Emerson
"The most violent weapon on earth is the table fork."
- Mahatma Gandhi
page 24
"As long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love."
- Pythagoras
page 84
...a self-induced sicknesss, adult-onset diabetes...Diabetes is rare among those who eat a plant-based diet...
John McDougall, M.D....
"It is no coincidence that the same diet that helps prevent or cure diabetes also causes effortless weight loss, lowers cholesterol and triglycerides, cleans out the arteries, and returns the body to excellent function. But no matter how much research appears saying the same thing over and over again, the tide is unlikely to change because of the economic incentives for the medical establishment of continued illness and profitable treatments."...
page 149
...Einstein...:
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our prersonal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."...
page 154
"Converting living systems into machines for capital accumulation wouldn't be possible without the instrumentality of a reductionist science that achieves two things for you.
"On the one hand it kills your ethics of compassion because reductionism transforms a living system into inert parts that are put together from the outside - and that reductionism then creates the ethical anesthesia that basically says: 'You don't have to worry about the ethics of your relationship because this is just a bundle of matter which is in your hands to play around with.' It's as if you're playing with plasticine.
"And it also gives you the actual manipulative power to get more milk out of a cow, to produce more lean meat in the cows, to stock cows in smaller spaces, to slaughter them more quickly.
"These are the systems by which capital uses the reductionism of science for capital accumulation and appropriation of life from beings who have a right to their own life."
- Vandana Shiva
page 189
...soaring demand for fossil fuels...will cause unremitting upward price pressure...the days of cheap animal foods are numbered...eating animal foods is an unacceptable waste of our limited petroleum supplies...eating beef, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy products...inefficient compared to plant foods by factors...of 10, 15, and 25 to one? It's easier to see the gallons of fossil fuel poured directly into our cars than it is to see the gallons of fossil fuel poured into our cheese, eggs, fish sticks, hot dogs, and steaks.
The Toxins in Animal Agriculture
The vast, monocropped fields devoted to feeding the animals we eat cover millions of acres of land and are heavily doused with toxic pesticides and fertilizers...
page 194
...Marion Nestle's "Food Politics"...how our food production system is designed to maximize profits for the relatively few large corporations that dominate it...:
"My job was to manage the editorial production of the first - and as yet only - Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health...My first day on the job, I was given the rules: No matter what the research indicated, the report could not recommend "eat less meat" as a way to reduce intake of saturated fat, nor could it suggest restrictions on intake of any other category of food . In the industry-friendly climate of the Reagan administration, the producers of foods that might be affeted by such advice would complain to their beneficiaries in Congress, and the report would never be published."
page 198
"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do...It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it."
- Albert Schweitzer
"Animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than blacks were made for whites or women for men."
page 220
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, then you have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."
- St. Francis of Assisi
"Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction."
- Krishnamurti
