In all the talk about saving the planet by saying we should do this or that.  What is not being addressed is the waste we administer.  In the United States of America, we waste more than all the other nations combined.  As a first world country, we do less to hold our title.

 

 

To save the planet’s environment is to simply do the simplest things in life.  There is no reason to pay for an expensive house to live green.  Every heard, “Finding the answers are easy, and asking the right questions is what is hard?”  Like anything in life, we start to live our lives in a simple format and go from there.  Even with our advance technology we can live within nature.

We are human beings.  That is our purpose to live on Earth, and not on another planet in our solar system.  To live in nature is not to stop living in technology.  It is technology that allows us to learn, grow, and achieve things in life.  Technology is not the means of allowing it to live our lives.  Technology can better our lives by getting the same job done a lot quicker.

 

 

Mankind has never communicated better than through online social networking.  Today in the 21st Century, everyone around the world can talk in real time with another.  Through technology, we can live as one, and live within nature a lot better than we ever had done.  It is by maturity of mind that will allows us to grow and live within nature itself.  Using mindless emotions does not do anything.

If emotions are not our rightful guide, than what is our guide to living within nature as all should do?  Faith is that guide.  I cannot tell you how to believe.  That is completely up to you.  Whatever one believes in that will be the guide to how they will live on Earth.

We are not drones like a Star Trek Borg.  We are individuals with the abilities to think and rationalize.  Faith is not the means of being a mindless water sack.  We have to take responsibilities for our own actions.  We cannot use religion to give our responsibilities to others.

It is due to the lack of responsibility that we carelessly throw garbage anywhere we please without concerns of our actions.  How I look at it, faith/religion done in the right way can enhance the human condition. It will teach us to be responsible if we truly listen.  It is not religion that causes us to be lead astray from reality.  It is the abuse of the clergy of organized religion that causes fear, hate, and suffering.

That is why I will not tell anyone how they should believe, live, or whatever.  I have a hard time in living my own life.  How can I have the time to live for others.  If I did have all the time in the world, I still would not live for others.  I rather inspire others to live their own lives better than they might realize.

How much tons of garbage will fill the street you live on?  Picture 150 tons of trash on your street.  I can see it would be easier to drive on six inches of snow/ice than 150 tons of trash.  Think of having a ratio of the number of houses on your street to that amount of garbage.  Could we even get out of our own home?

How is that any different than throwing trash in someone else’s yard, or anywhere else that is not a trash can?  There is a place for everything in life.  There is a place to put the garbage.  We can also recycle a good bit of what we do throw away.  Everything we do in life makes ripples in the pool of life.

What action is to be taken next is all up to each and every one of us.  We can make a difference even at the littlest task.  There is no job too small.  One does not have to be a big shot in life to make a difference as far as our environment is concerned.  The simplest thing we can do is live responsibly.
