  1. #DigitalDrugs: "What I argue for is trying to avoid using #intoxicants in high volume too often. So, it’s not that I imagine that we’re never going to use intoxicants. We wouldn’t be human. And it’s a deep part of our culture, and it can be neutral or even beneficial. But we have to really be careful about #overconsuming intoxicants or consuming them too often. And I do think given this world of abundance, that we have to now intentionally seek out things that are hard. Because our lives have become so easy, so convenient, so sedentary, the default is a state of consumption that’s ultimately not good for our bodies or our minds."

    save on medical bills, and save 17% of global GHG emissions.

    "More than half (56.9%) of the global population, which is presently #overconsuming, would save 32.4% of global emissions through diet shifts, offsetting the 15.4% increase in global emissions from presently underconsuming populations moving towards healthier diets."
