Is Renewable Energy Enough To Stop Global Warming? What About Animal Agriculture?
Environmentalists and vegans have a shared type of knowledge experience, both groups face a dominant paradigm. It is appropriate for environmental to look at our mutually desired shared outcome, which is a sustainable world, and join forces.
DARYL ELLIOTT: ‘Environmentalists are in a unique position to see and question the dominant paradigm because we do so regularly in this oil-coal-gas-nuclear world… We understand the case for replacing these subsidized and inefficient industries with state-of-the-art renewable energy. We know what it’s like to swim upstream against the dominant paradigm. We know what it’s like to capture the urgency of a situation in the face of blank stares.
This article is about adding another item to the environmentalist’s set of desired outcomes, beyond a 100% renewable energy planet, something we need in order to help the planet remain sustainable. This additional construct promotes the process of ending animal agriculture and encourages everyone to live vegan. Environmentalists and vegans have a shared type of knowledge experience, which is like being the main character in a horror movie who has seen the demon but no one believes you.
Vegans face the same blank stares when making the case for a plant-based and vegan world that environmentalists face when we state that we could have 100% renewable energy now with current technology if only we had the collective political will for sensible energy investments. Both groups face a dominant paradigm influenced by tradition, culture, and a financially driven industry–media–government complex that perpetuates the status quo at the expense of reason.
Environmental activists call upon individuals in aligned groups to see through the haze across disciplines. Activists call upon individuals to become disruptors of every useless, anachronistic, dominant paradigm. It is appropriate for environmental and renewable energy communities to look at our mutually desired shared outcome, which is a sustainable world, and join forces’. SOURCE…
