Do we need pandemics to let Mother Earth heal herself?
This on-going pandemic in the last one year has shown us that we need to change our lifestyle i.e. the way we live, so that we RESTORE MOTHER EARTH !
This pandemic has left many gasping for BREATH... desparate for OXYGEN!
But did we, collectively, care for our Mother ? A BIG NO starkly stares at us.
Mother Nature gives her best to her children; BUT we just don't care how we treat her!
Air, Water and Soil support our lives! Rather our Soil is our external metabolism; and if it is deficient in nutrients how can our food be nutrient rich ? How can nutrients deficient food laden with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, nourish our bodies ? But
"Yeh dil mange more" has become our Slogan and Motto !! We just want more and more!
Let's peep a little inward and introspect... let's get into a giving mode rather than taking all the time.
Here every little effort by everyone will be a valuable addition.
What proactive steps can be taken to bring in restoration?
We feel, the most fundamental to bring in restoration is to change our thinking, our attitude and our actions!
We can start with...
- Minimizing the use of plastic.
- Stop using toxic chemicals laden floor cleaners, washing soaps, detergents.
- Opt for environment friendly products.
- Eat Organic and thus support and encourage Organic farming.
- Eat whole plant based food. You can google to find out adverse impact of meat industry on environment.
- Plant trees and go for afforestation if possible. Surprisingly you don't have to possess huge land. With Miyawaki method
you can creat a thick jungle in just 3 years even on a small piece of land !
- Be conscious that your actions are not adding to wastage or pollution... be it in air, water or soil...the list is endless!
Once and for all, let us understand that our
well-being is dependent on MOTHER Earth's well-being!
So, let's express our sincere, pure and heartfelt gratitude towards Mother Nature for all that she gives selflessly to support our existence.
Let us care for our MOTHER ... each one doing his or her bit!
Happy M🌎ther Earth Day !!
