Buying Less Gasoline — Ukraine War — the Power of Humanity.

What is the one action that each and every one of us can do to support the brave and suffering people of Ukraine and at the same time stick it to the evil dictator Putin?

Commit to buying 10% less gasoline and or cutting you carbon consumption.

Russia supports itself and its’ shrinking economy with the sale of natural gas and oil to the world. If the Allies or West want to defeat Putin, we simply lessen demand for the one thing he needs to sell to keep the war effort alive: petroleum.

The U.S. imports about 8% of our oil from Russia, the countries of NATO much more. The U.S. is no longer importing Russian oil. The EU is much more dependent upon Russia and has to move a bit more deliberately. However, if this could become a mass movement when tens of millions of Europeans commit to drive 10% less this year than last and the same again next year. Then even if countries continue to purchase, the people will have spoken, and the level of speculation and price-gouging will go down. Most importantly stress on the Russian economy will increase.

Why?

Because I made a commitment in collaboration with tens of millions of other global citizens. The two joys of taking a personal stance and of being part of a scaled-up massive non-violent force.
