The world is being destroyed by popular demand


  • One person dies every 3 seconds from starvation
  • 100 – 500 species become extinct everyday


“Death is one thing; the end of birth is something else” (Gary Snyder)


  • Deforestation is happening at a rate of 150,000 sq km (90,000 sq miles) every year.
  • The amount of fuel used in one year took the earth 1 million years to create.
  • 30% of global warming is caused by agriculture



“The world is being destroyed by popular demand” (Wendell Berry)






Most of this destruction is caused by the toxic chemicals and preservatives that are used on our world. As consumers we allow this to happen by not thinking about the origins of our purchases and by assuming that we cannot make a difference.





I would like to invite you to attend a free and inspirational webinar given by Alf Orpen (director of ONEgroup) in which he describes in detail the severity of this damage to our environment and how to withdraw our constent to this destruction.





Simply follow this link which will take you straight to the webinar, it is aprox 45 mins long https://admin.acrobat.com/_a768771389/p35565817/
