VEGAN and Vegetarian Potluck on Last Fridays

The sun is shining and so is my solar oven! I created Sweet Potato chips, Cream of Mushroom soup, and Portabella garlic bread. It is exquisite VEGAN food!

For those of you who think i am avoiding animal products because of cruelty issues, health issues, those are good enough reasons, but what is making me turn the tide is environmental. We are now loosing 200 species a day due to almost 8 billion humans, a population exploding along with the animals we raise to kill. The web of life is collapsing due to animal based diets which translate into deforestation to create cow pastures - we've now lost half to 3/4 of our forests.

That's the reason for C02 in the atmosphere and loss of oxygen production, the loss of biodiversity and habitat.

80 percent of our agriculture resources are going to feed animals instead of us. We can feed 100 people for the price of one hamburger, and the environmental harm is not being calculated.

These animals are using up the dwindling oxygen supply and are responsible for the biggest share of METHANE gas - deadliest of the greenhouse gases.
One or two more degrees of ocean warming and our Oxygen supply from the seas, the phytoplankton, will be wiped out, as they cannot handle temperature change.

This scenario of ocean warming has occurred before, due to volcanoes, and 95% of everything alive perished. Now it's entirely human created.

For those who are religious, re-visit Genesis. We were instructed to eat plant foods. The ten commandments instruct us not to kill.

No one wants to hear, or notice, or see, or connect the dots of what we are causing because few want to change anything about what they are and do.
For those with eyes to see, the signs of the times are all around us.

I am only one person, but all change comes from right where you are. Every bite makes a difference. That is why I am focusing on plant based foods, host a VEGAN potluck every month in Boulder Creek on the last Friday for lunch at Saint Michael's Community Center.

RSVP at GreatGourmets@gmail.com, GreatGourmets@blogspot.com holds images and recipes.

It is also why I am posting articles and science notes on social media, to raise awareness. Do you care enough to do what you can to reverse global warming and the 6th mass extinction wave currently accelerating?

Unless we re-green our world with food bearing trees, and loose our addictions to flesh, life is doomed to extinction at a rapidly accelerated rate 10,000 times normal extinction rates, and all the wars, global weather intensities, famines, and ills that are coming with it.
