How do we meditate to be kind to Earth?
We have only one Mother Earth and how we treat her is reflected in what she returns to us. We’re experiencing climate change because conditions have altered. We release too much carbon into the atmosphere and this destroys the layer of protective ozone around Earth. Earth feels warmer, and we burn energy to cool ourselves, while emitting more carbon and continue to damage the ozone layer.
Do we need to use the air-conditioner all the time? can we try to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing the amount of electricity consumption? Can we try to use a fan instead of the air-con? Maybe we can compromise by using the fan for some hours, when the weather is still tolerable for fan usage and the ac for other hours when the weather feels very hot.
The humble paper is made from majestic trees. We must try to recycle paper, to reduce the quantity of new paper needed. New paper requires raw material from trees and this reduces the size of forests. Subsequently, the reduction of shade makes the surrounding feel warmer.
It is easy to recycle trash and unwanted household goods. There are recycling bins everywhere. The trash is transported to a waste processing plant where it is sorted and sent for recycling for use as raw products in new goods.
Collecting things for recycling means we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint. When large numbers of people in many populations are reducing their carbon footprints, this collective effort will help Earth. She has been kind to sustain us for the duration of our lives and it is fitting that we do our part to reduce and slow down destruction to Earth’s natural resources.
Waste from household, industrial, and business practices are dumped into large, excavated holes for landfill. Some materials require hundreds of years for decomposition. Thereafter, the waste products contaminate the earth and surroundings. That land is spoiled. It is better to recycle for re-use.
Here are some morethings that can be collected for recycling:
- Plastics
- Metals
- Fabrics
