There are other ways to connect with Gaia besides old-fashioned smoking and spitting. Connecting with Gaia gives a solid sense of living in a certain time and space, as well as a better insight into cosmopolitan affairs.
One should go to nature and try to enjoy it without fear, I know, it is easier said than done. I find it sad, there were so many natural tragedies, but simply going out is the right thing - to go to nature and get closer to it.
Don't do some crazy things like extreme sports because it's stressful for Gaia, it's irritating. I mostly believe that we should inherit the concept promoted by the movies, but likewise improve technology in an ecological way. I consider myself a true friend of animals and plants, Gaia, I am against laboratory experiments on animals, zoos, as well as concreting.
Follow me and so you advocate revolutionary change. Gaia remembers and she'll make it worth your while.
