We the People of Planet Earth Can Lead Needed Change

We see the need to stand up — for the planet, for freedom, for the Ukrainians- both for our own integrity and the reality that transformative changes can occur when there are massive numbers of global citizens who are loud, collaborative, and collective in action.

Russia and the Ukraine War

This column suggests to buy 10% less gasoline until Russia leaves Ukraine is a next step for the collective and collaborative WE. Russia is committing atrocities in Ukraine and fuels it through the oil they sell which is 10% of the global supply. Collectively and collaboratively humanity can reduce gasoline consumption by 10% without politicians or national leaders. WE just buy less and live a lifestyle of living with less and by so doing, affect geo-politics. We will have to do this regularly to face the climate crisis. We are demand!

If tens or hundreds of millions of people around the world let it be known — and have it amplified by the global media entities- that we will use less gasoline until Russia leaves Ukraine, it will make national leaders follow. If the world shows that it doesn’t need Russian oil, and WE trigger a 10% lessening of global demand, we will feel empowered and leaders around the world will take note.
