[Intro]
Mass consumption
(Absorption, tion, tion)
Sponging off the Earth
(Since our birth)
[Verse 1]
Where we begin…
(Is soakin’ it in)
Suck up even more
(Than ever before)
[Chorus]
Mass consumption
(Human absorption)
Sponging off the Earth
(Since our birth)
[Bridge]
Mass consumption
(Absorption)
Sponging off the Earth
(Since our birth)
[Verse 2]
Where we continue
(You soakin’ it, too)
Suck up every bit
(Out of habit)
[Chorus]
Mass consumption
(Human absorption)
Sponging off the Earth
(Since our birth)
[Bridge]
Mass consumption
(Absorption)
Sponging off the Earth
(Since our birth)
[Outro]
Mass consumption
(Reduction)
If we want an Earth
(For future birth)
Reduce the pace
(Of the human race)
Mass consumption
(Solution)
ABOUT THE SCIENCE
Mass consumption is the root engine of environmental exploitation and anthropogenic climate change.
It’s not just the industries themselves—it’s the economic model built on endless growth, disposable goods, and ever-rising demand. Every product extracted, manufactured, shipped, and discarded carries a carbon and ecological cost. As long as our global systems reward consumption without limits, ecosystems will continue to be degraded, resources depleted, and greenhouse gases pumped into the atmosphere.
Real climate solutions require more than cleaner technology—they demand rethinking consumption patterns, redefining prosperity, and designing an economy that values sustainability over excess.
* Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — which incorporates complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures are becoming unsustainable this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, highlighting a dramatic acceleration in global warming. We are now entering a phase of compound, cascading collapse, where climate, ecological, and societal systems destabilize through interlinked, self-reinforcing feedback loops.
What Can I Do?
The single most important action you can take to help address the climate crisis is simple: stop burning fossil fuels. There are numerous actions you can take to contribute to saving the planet. Each person bears the responsibility to minimize pollution, discontinue the use of fossil fuels, reduce consumption, and foster a culture of love and care. The Butterfly Effect illustrates that a small change in one area can lead to significant alterations in conditions anywhere on the globe. Hence, the frequently heard statement that a fluttering butterfly in China can cause a hurricane in the Atlantic. Be a butterfly and affect the world.
Tipping points and feedback loops drive the acceleration of climate change. When one tipping point is breached and triggers others, the cascading collapse is known as the Domino Effect.
