The question everyone should more or less able to answer, or at least should be to willing to, is how can the individual take part on the process without increasing too much negative results. People should get aware of the power they have as every one of them is a consumer. | The question everyone should more or less able to answer, or at least should be to willing to, is how can the individual take part on the process without increasing too much negative results.

“The question is not only how to live but the right way to live.” (CONNOLLY & PROTHERO 2008) | For example, to refuse the need of meat or the use of less meat helps to minimize the climate change aswell as this behave sets a clearly spoken “NO” to the conventionally produced meat and the very bad mood the animals are treated, because of the mass production. If the decision not to consume any meat might seem to hard to take, the individuum could make a better choice by buying meat from regional farms without mass production but with biological and ecological production. | ||
As this small example shows, there is always a choice to take. And being embedded in a society which has the gift to live in the highest sphere of MASLOWs pyramide which is called “Self-actualization” it is a shame to simply regret to get aware of it. | |||
