The story of our past is a solution for our present Ambiental situation. Looking that in the past we live in harmony with all other parts that make our ecosystem so complex, but excellent and perfect to protect us, and made us thrive as humans.
But as this virus shows us, when infected the disease just multiply, and kill without mercy. We are turning in the virus that is cancer for the planet. Consumption is all that matters and seems that we cannot stop, because for the most, is not a problem to deal with, as it looks as far away as 100 years, till this planet is no more a place that we can live. Or maybe we can worry about money, cars, bigger houses, and the last gadget model. But all this stuff that we have to get, takes energy to build, and bring to our door. The fuel fossil tool is supercharging our society
The average person consumes 2200 kWh a day, but our energy footprint is even bigger than that, counting all the extra everyone can or has to spend anyway. Energy doesn't cost money, but it really costs more energy, just to get the oil. And is not covering our necessities anymore, and that is sustainability as a no brainer, is not suitability when is not possible to sustain us anymore. If we did stop all our activities using cars, destroying forests, emptying our oceans, killing and eating animals, right now, maybe will be late. We have to collect(buy) more, and more objects, that in lots of cases we don't even use it. We use objects as an extension to our self, we think that this will be making us feel better, but that is not satisfying, and then we buy more. By the end we want others to see all we have as we can be accepted for our social status. And that is the problem, we don't want to recognize that we have to be conscious about what we doing, starting making more responsible choices, and engaging in a way that we can habitat at the same level that other animals, and plants, consuming the energy at day time, taking just what is essential for surviving, and causing little or no disruption to the ecosystem.
We act as a separate part of all, that is included in the planet, but we are integrated into it. and if we cannot bring ourselves to understand that, we risk losing this amazing paradise forever.
We have to use mindfulness to be able to stop acting in a mechanic destructive way, be able to stop and think in more ways of helping restore our ecosystem. And not thinking that we have time to act, because we really not. During this article, Glaciers are melting, ocean packs the size of 4 football stadiums are empty of fish, and the corals are dead. Animals that are extinguished, integrally because of our egocentrism.
We create a history that corporations are the villains that are destroying our world, and we use it as an excuse to don't take any action. We also like to invest a little to have a lot, no effort, just grabbing a bargain. Making choices that will cause this consumerism to reverse, is your own responsibility. If we don't buy more fish, the supermarkets will have to stop selling it. And you just can start by eating 80% more vegetables and fruits, planting your own food, and saving on water, gas, electricity, stop buying, learning to reuse, recycle, walk instead of driving.
When we think of our universe and the way that he uses the energy, that changes our perception of what we need to be alive, we can then use this model to use earth energy in common with other animals in a more efficient way.
Doing things in a certain way can take us to a change that will restore our ecosystem, and use the solutions that each one of us, no matter what feels more comfortable with.
Ask yourself what is possible to do that is a part of what you are, and use your creative mind to create a better world, maybe just with love, love for our children's future, love for our beautiful plants, love for all the animals, love for each other, and we will be the heroes that save an all amazing planet.
