War. Overpopulation. Malnutrition. Factory farming. Destroyed rainforests. Economic recession. Pollution. Water conflicts. Animal extinction. Obesity. AIDS.These are just a few of the problems that our planet and our global population faces right now. All are related, directly and indirectly. One problem cannot be solved without affecting another, and some, it seems, cannot be solved without changing the world as we know it.

Is that what it takes? A change in the way we view things, a change in the way communities, socieites and nations interact, a change in the way problems are solved? We believe so, and Think: Less! is dedicated to this mission. It is a site where one teenager proclaiming that she is going to change the world is not a joke. There are plenty of websites that outline and encourage little actions, and we don't dispute that every incremental action is important, but they must be derived from a big transformative idea.

Big ideas call for a deep understanding of the interactions between humans, their governments, industries, animals, plants, and nature. We are a connected world, and without understanding those connections one cannot repair or even begin to understand the problems we face. Modern civilization as we know it today cannot simply vanish. But if we continue on our path of excessive consumption, we as a planet will face even more disastrous consequences. There is a delicate balance between civilization and nature. The two concepts can coexist, but not without some hard-fought change, innovation, and a movement of leaders and communities who demand justice. Justice for themselves, justice for the animals, justice for the environment, and justice for our planet.

So what can you do? Think: Less!
