Abstract It is shown that mass loss from dwarf M stars arising from flaring and stellar winds may lead to a significant mass and energy input into the interstellar medium. It is further demonstrated that the stellar flares on these stars may be producing through nuclear reactions a large fraction of the observed interstellar deuterium. The same mass loss would also give rise to substantial galactic winds in galaxies with small ambient interstellar gas components. These results show that stellar flaring can account for many effects previously ascribed to supernovae.
