When people see themselves as producers of CO2 emissions coming from their metabolic activities and are aware that through simple good practices and habits, those emissions could diminish, there is going to be a real lowering of them. We believe that many social mechanisms are going to be triggered if people develop good and conscious practices in the following major aspects: listening; feeling; good communications; writing and reading, gentle exercise; appreciation and recognition of people, of self and nature; slow and conscious eating; meditation; chanting; conversation, friendship and sharing. All these habits will help regulate metabolic oxygen use, decrease human body CO2 emissions, diminish food use and help avoiding waste. If these changes occur synchronized with conscious behavior and high quality attention, the effect is going to be permanent and is going to be associated with states of happiness, personal and group pride and satisfaction management.
