been to protect threatened
ecosystems from invasive
sources of “imbalance.” Our human participation and
involvement are vital to protect ecosystems and sustain
balanced ones. The focus on creating and protecting
CLEAN AIR AND WATER has a crucial role in creating
this protection. An expanded awareness of nature, the
“nature of nature,” and our own organic needs are
prerequisites to creating a sustainable lifestyle and
protecting ecosystemic balance. All life forms are
connected in one way or another.
Many of us still do not see the connection between a
sustainable lifestyle and the need to focus on ecosystemic
balance and biodiversity. It is a subtle but powerful
connection. In nature, and any individual environment
(community), all the species/occupants have a synergistic
connection. Believe it or not, not just energically, but also
physiologically, we all influence each other. Expanding our
awareness to register this fact will change how we see and
engage with others in our immediate environment.
On many levels, we all are influenced by the individuals
in our immediate space and the surrounding environment.
One simple, perhaps oversimplified, example is when
you enter a room that has many ill people, you will have
a different experience than when you go into a healthier
environment. In areas of nature, such as forests and parks,
where there is a plethora of diverse species, there is a
different energy as well. There is always a synergistic
reality that we experience as subtle and as invisible as
it may seem. When we are conscious of this, adjust our
attitude to be cognizant of this, and then take actions in
our lifestyle to honor this awareness, the nature of our
lifestyle changes toward a more sustainable one!
Thank you for considering these ideas!
