Environmental care is a practical, worldly thing. But it is also a step in one’s personal evolution. On the one hand, it is a practical response to the environmental problems we are facing. It is also a foresighted response to the issues (economic and environmental) that we might be facing if we don’t think more about the environment we live in and rely on. But, on the other hand, it is much more than that.

Where does environmental degradation start?
It starts with our unnatural inclination to want more than we need.
And where does this want come from?
It comes from the idea of self.
It comes from the feeling of self.
It comes from the experience that we are an individual, separate from everything else.
It comes from the belief and the understanding and the experience that we are not One with everything and everyone in this Creation.
So, naturally, with this as our root, we want more: we want to load this self with all the food, acquisitions, honor, experiences, and influence that we can.
And where does it lead us?
