Over the last few months, it has become increasingly important to begin an environmental conversation. I always touch on this because the environment is a topic that a lot of people don’t realize is a priority. With politics finally shedding some light on how important it is, from local communities to internationally, I find myself wanting to educate people on the basics of why the environment deserves our attention.
We are witnessing environmental issues within our lives that’s a direct result of the industrial impact on earth.
We are further compromising the state of our environment by making long-term decisions for short-term profit.
How & what we’re doing to confront & deal with issues depends on the issue itself — meaning there will never one fits all kind of solution.
Our success in creating current sustainability may be able to promise future sustainability.
The most important thing to remember is that environmental problems are multi-faceted issues. There are so many different aspects to consider and majority of them are ever-changing in nature. So solutions & predictions are harder to determine since there are many moving parts.
To start an environmental conversation, we really need to begin to build our understanding of what the environment does for us. That foundational insight can help us realize the powerful relationship between earth and man. We need to learn more about our surroundings, how much it immediately gives to us, and how our behaviors today affect what it will give us in the future. From romantic relationships to friendships and family bonds, all relationships require a specialized attention to the beloved.
So why not the relationship we have with our only home? 💭
