Yeah, this tank of gasoline makes me look fat unless I move to a new idea. And we have to move there whether we want to or not. When the planet warms up, and the ice in the Arctic melts to the point that it is no longer cooling the planet. That is a very different place to live, and you will not like it. And your kids will say, what the heck, why didn't they do this?

Well, they didn't like change. Well, isn't that too bad? It's going to happen to you, it's not going to run down the generations to your grandkids. So that's the hard truth, and best to embrace it and be the edge of change rather than the actionary minority with their heels dug in going Hell no, I won't go. It's really a very simple choice, ultimately, going into the 21st century.

Yeah, it's going to be an interesting mess. But that's what change is. We get to the other side, we'll let go some of those things that served us in the interim. How exciting to be in charge of changing the planet.

Yeah, that's a good point right there. You know, we we have to act, we have to take action. And if we don't take action these are choices, things don't change. What is your thought on how we live in our modern world? Should we stop building Major metropolitans and go back to the family farms? Well, you know what we have lost in the way of understanding of the agricultural life it was one hell of a hard life hellishly hard to grow a crop out of a field of dried dirt.

And as soon as fertilizers came along, that released the agricultural revolution, and then all of those post war tanks turned into massive agricultural tractor machines, and we had the agricultural revolutions. If we remove that we're back to a field of hard dirt. And so we don't want to merrily dismiss what we have learned in order to go back to absolute backbreaking work of farming without some kind of mechanized fuel driven vehicles, you understand that?

We have ferret very carefully figure that out. But ultimately, we become more village oriented, we have fewer miles to travel to get where we're going. We've already discovered that so many of us can work from home. There is a huge office building just being built a few blocks from me, it is just one of those glassy environmental cubes. I have no idea who is going to occupy it, but I can say it is absolutely obsolete before it opens its doors. And I don't know if the builders of that are keeping that truth from themselves and complete denial, or they expect people to drive in there and park and physically go in and fill those offices.

What's your guess? I think we have a big problem. And the more oils fuels and you know, it gets really compounded when we talk about fuels and you know, oils because we have mining that goes on for our ores and our oils. And then we have all of these other industries that are focused on Bringing oil and fuels to the table. So I think we have to find this proper medium to balance our ecosystem where we're not like strip mining and doing devastation to our world. And there's obvious problems with emissions going into our atmosphere.

The EPA has done strides on this, you know, back in the 70s, when they started really looking into this hard in changing the fuels, and the smokestacks, they've been changing how emissions are being put in.

It's a very fine line. And I think we really need to lighten the load on our metropolitan areas, and bring more people outward into the rural areas, and learn how to be less dependent on the ease of living that we have created. So yes, like you stated, there's this tremendous workload. I live on a farm, I maintain a little farm here.

You know what I mean then, It's a miles, Yeah, it's a miles for me to go to the store and back round trip. So when I make a trip, I really plan I really make sure I'm going to use that trip wisely. We need more people doing that. It's not easy. It's not easy at all. Another thing, I think, is the trash issues. I listened to a few podcasts that you've been on. And you talk a little bit about this recycling.

I think we need to really get grips on our plastic uses, and what we throw away how we really live life really needs to be uncovered and reworked again. So that's my thought on that Twyla. So after all said and done about the fuel dependency, we still have this major problem with the manufacturing and mining of the ores needed to produce whatever fuel or our hungry lives depend on.

How do we spread the message of slowing our need for such harmful things in our world? Yeah, well, you have to start by stopping burning as much gasoline as you can, because that is the fire that's raging. And so we have to put that down to a smolder. In order to save the actual atmosphere of the planet. That's the essence of global warming it there is a pandemic going on, in on the planet before the pandemic of covid ever came along.

And that is the bio geo whatever, whatever pandemic of loss of ecosystem, loss of life, loss of complexity, etc, that we have created in a cascade of, of damages that we have allowed to ripple out. So how do you stop that? How do you reverse it, it's very complex, but just understand that fuel drives our lives every minute.

Anybody who's listening to this is surrounded by fuel created wires and processes and things. You know, you I'm sitting in a plethora of things brought to me by the oil age and the gasoline age, somehow we have to back off from that as we want to keep what the the benefits and reduce the harm. And we need to do that in short order, in order to keep the beautiful planet that we have. And you know, that's that's a big subject for a lot more talk.

But first of all, we have to become aware of it like you are, you're very carefully using your gasoline. And for us in suburbia, for instance, I go to the grocery store, it's about a mile away. Oh by the way, if you break down the 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, it's about a mile. It's about a pound a mile. So if you go into town, it's pounds in pounds back and that is probably not something you want to hear that's why you are carefully organizing your trip.

So I go up to the grocery store, that's a pound of carbon dioxide to get to the grocery store, we have to see it at this level, then it's a pound back, I take my dogs in to be groomed, that's a pound over there and a pound back, I go to see my friend, that's a pound over and a pound back, I go to the doctor's office, she's seven miles away, that's seven pounds over seven pounds back, you see what I'm talking about?

This is what we do, yes, we do this all day, every day. Or if you go to work, maybe it's a 25 mile round trip five days a week, that begins to really add up and then all of your other workers are also doing that much. So in order to fill that building I just described, that's how many thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide do those people leave behind in order to drive to that building to get to their jobs and do whatever it is they're going to do.

That's the wonderful thing about gasoline, you can measure it down to the pound down to the mile. And that's what the gasoline diet does, as well as fueling change how we created climate change one fuel at a time. Just understand that every breath you take, every move you make is backed up by fuel to support our very 20th century life. Yes, and fuel comes in many ways. You know, we talk a lot about, right, yes, you know, and we talk about the fuel we all know about, like gasoline, coal, wood, but the fuel and energy of the human being and the beast of burden in the field.

Yeah, that built us up to this point where we demand this convenience, this ease. So there's a lot of work to be done Twyla. And you've taken on on a lot on your journey, I do respect that that's a burden. I don't. Well, the point of my spear is gasoline, and that's very simple. Take your car keys in your hand. And before you go jumping into your vehicle to do some fairly frivolous trip, realize you can either do it or not based on your realization and your inventiveness. Maybe you delay it, or you combine it or you decide not to do it.

You have to start realizing Okay, I'm going over to do so and so, that's 10 miles away, that's 10 pounds, got to come back, that's another 10 pounds, get into that frame of mind and then we begin to change what we have to do.

That's right. So how can people get ahold of you and connect and get involved with what you're doing? Thank you, well, you can get the book amazon. They can find me at how we can stop climate change. I've taken a leave of absence from blogging because of COVID and the personal tragedies of my own particular situation. I'm about to start blogging again. And find me just Google Twyla Dell, I have four different websites you will certainly find me there.
