Yet these ways of doing things are put on their head in an environ- mental crisis. What do you do when the best thing, the only sane thing, is actually to encourage folks to consume less? Also, this was a public utility, keep in mind. We needed to ask folks, why in hell does a public utility, a monopoly, need to maximize profits? Why not just enough to cover operating expenses and wages? And here we came up against another common notion of a capitalistic society: Which is that the other goal, outside of buying as much as one could, is to make as much as one can ... of money. So greed and consumption are the two and only goals in this capitalist model. What Oregon Fair Share had to do was to get the utility to see things differently and change its rates. But first they had to get the community out of its mindset. Believe me, most folks, regardless of the benefit to themselves in having lower rates, simply could not see the issue outside of the box in which they were trained to think: That is, that consuming more should reap a reward, which would encourage more consumption. Think about the environmental consequences of this. If you were able to pay less per gallon of gas the more you drove your car ... so that at the end of the month, you could be paying fifty cents a gallon, say ... would you not then drive your car a lot more and waste a lot more gas?

I. APOCALYPSE AND INSANITY Page 18 …less per item when you, say, go to Costco and buy in bulk. It makes sense, you would think, I know, to pay less when you buy more. Yet we are in an environmental crisis where use of electricity should be cut back as much as possible, not encouraged. And, yes, we were well aware of all these environmental issues we talk about today back then in the Eighties ... and even Seventies.... Which shocks me, by the way, to realize how little things have changed in all this time. It is as if the issue just started up recently, the way some folks think. Even worse are climate- change deniers. How silly to think that the government is orchestrating a problem that we have known about for thirty years and which was discovered nearly two hundred years ago.2 Anyway, the way things are normally done, in an economic model geared toward profit, is someone who buys more of something gets a lower price to encourage them to buy even more, and then a lower price at that point to buy even more. This is how businesses maximize their return on investment and how consuming people are pushed into the mindset of consumerism ... to buy buy buy as the goal and purpose of life. Yet these ways of doing things are put on their head in an environ- mental crisis. What do you do when the best thing, the only sane thing, is actually to encourage folks to consume less? Also,

Oregon Fair Share worked on the issue of fair utility rates, and it won a major victory in restructuring electricity rates around the state so that they no longer favored larger consumers of power and instead benefitted ordinary folks, smaller consumers. This example is instructive for how our unthinking ways of doing things — evolved out of a time vastly different from today — are mechanically undermining our lives; how they could be changed to benefit us given a little thought to the matter; and finally, how citizens can use their strength in numbers to take action to effect such necessary change. So let me elaborate a little on this victory of Oregon Fair Share. These utility rates proposed by Oregon Fair Share — “lifeline rates,” as they are called — are still in effect. Notice, their intent was simple — to effect an environmental advantage for us, while making things better for ordinary folks. And how? By taking away the unfair advantage given almost routinely to the big and the powerful. For the utility rate structure had been set up previously so that the more electricity you used, the lower the rate per kilowatt hour you would pay. Kind of like the way you pay… 2.

2. ACTIVISM, NUCLEAR, AND INSANITY Page 17 — along with themselves, their own species.... This suicide by the human race is something I have termed, humanicide.... But the second topic — the psychology of apocalypse — brings me around to the first again, the nuclear issue. Activism Let me back up a second. I am an author, now, but for most of my life I was a psychotherapist who specialized in primal therapy and holotropic breathwork. As well, I am a prenatal and perinatal psychologist, and a philosopher. Most recently, I have been advancing theory in the field of ecopsychology in a number of works.1 However, I am also an activist. For a year and a half, from the fall of 1981 to the spring of 1983, I worked for an organization called Oregon Fair Share. I worked as a canvasser out of the Springfield, Oregon, office. The organization was an attempt to work on any issue that the community deemed it wanted addressed, kind of like a public, non-work-related union ... gathering folks together collectively to have strength in numbers to go up against the large entities in our world determining things for us ... government, corporations, you know what I mean....

“Even when realizing their lives and those of their families were at stake, their response was they wished to not know and to live their lives blissfully ignorant until it should actually be at hand.... Is it any wonder the media does not address it?” You might ask what it is that I bring to this issue that has not already been said. What is it you will get by reading my take and hearing my input on this? Well, one thing pertains to the nuclear issue. The other, to the question of why is this all happening. That is, what are the psychological components of a situation where a species can actually and without a second thought bring down the entire ecosphere — which is called ecocide I.
