Being Earth Conscious

What does it truly mean to be Earth Conscious? Well, in my understanding, it is that you respect the Earth so much that you take action by making changes in your life to limit the impact you have on the Earth as a whole. In the last 30 years there has been an increasing awareness on the behalf of the planet among many varied groups across the nation and around the world. People seem to be working toward creating a world that is more compassionate and caring. But there is an inconsistency developing in the actions and activities in many of these festivals to which many attendees and educators are blissfully unaware of and continue to support with no regard to the consequences. So I will ask you; If you are an Earth Conscious individual who believes your actions can effect the world as a whole how can you still support the exploitation and consumption of conscious, sentient beings who share this Earth with you?

A Case of Cognitive Dissonance

My little Valentine, enjoying a snack. As anyone who knows me well (or even not so well) would know, I love parrots. Right now I have my little cockatiel, Valentine, but I do plan on owning a few more birds once I get my own place. Just like my parents are "greyhound people", I am a "bird person". I really do love them, my favorites being 'toos and 'tiels, though I appreciate all parrots. As I said, I am very fond of them. However, there is one thing about the "parront" community that continues to perplex me, and this is the bird-eating bird owner. If you've ever seen a parrot who's plucked his or her feathers out, you know how much they look like a chicken, or a turkey, or a duck, or any other "food" bird. So, my honest question is: how do you eat birds if you also love them?

"Where do you get your protein?"

Ah yes. The dreaded question that every vegan fears. "Where do you get your protein?!" the meat eaters shout, in unison, eternally... The vegans try to close their ears, but alas, the screeching of the omnivores cannot be drowned out: "Where do you get your protein?" "Where do you get your protein?" "Where do you get your protein?"
