10 ways to wean ourselves from oil.
1. Make a Vow to refuse any extra plastic, whether it be bag of fork or cup or spoon. Say no thanks. Bring your own bag and that’s final.
2. Work to Outlaw Plastic bags in your neighborhood city or town
3. Do not buy water anymore. If you have to, do in the largest Bulk concentration you can. No more little bottles!
4. Write to companies that package things you like to buy encourage them to stop using so many tiny plastic bags for each component of the item. If they must do so, there are alternative wraps, some are made from soy bean.
5. Discourage manufacturing, Do your best to recycle, pass on everything and any thing. Learn how to fix stuff.
6. Work to legalize growing industrial Hemp as an alternative to fuel and plastic. Demand that your government listen!
7. Find alternative transportation. Use your car as little as possible, hardly at all unless you are using and electric car or Biodiesel
8. Tell others what you are doing
9. Put on solar panels, windmills, water mills,
10. Plant a garden and eat from it.
This disaster of plastic and oil will not be solved by these things alone, but it's a good start toward real independence and ingenuity.
