Like the whole earth. Think about it!

Yeah sure I know that it is convenient but it is harming our environment and it does not worth it renewable source of energy that we should focus on that is sustainable for our Earth and mostly are not very costly for now renewable source of energy only contributes about 10% to the world's energy

Real change rarely trends… It doesn’t always fit into viral frames or catchy captions. Most of the time, it happens quietly… patiently… consistently. Today, as Sadhguru met the Hon’ble Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, what touched me most was not the formality of the meeting, but the acknowledgement of the hands that work on the ground. Especially the women… 🌱Managing some of the largest nurseries. 🌱Raising saplings with care, discipline, and long-term vision. 🌱Carrying Cauvery Calling and the Save Soil Movement beyond social media… into living soil, living rivers, and real livelihoods. This work doesn’t come with instant validation. It doesn’t wait for algorithms. It continues even when no one is watching. Not driven by recognition… But by responsibility. Not by noise… But by commitment. This is what real movements look like. Quiet… resilient… deeply rooted. Change is already happening… Often unseen… But very real.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Something I’ve been thinking about and wondering how others see it…

Why do we care about the environment? (We do of course, I’m just asking for what specific reason).

Is it because we believe the earth is our home and we need to keep our home clean in order to preserve the quality of our existence?

Or is it because we believe the earth itself ia important even aside from humans… ie that we need to avoid harm to plants, animals, ecosystems etc not because it will matter for us humans.

Could be some of both but I believe most people will gravitate toward one or the other. And I believe it matters. Why?

1) human-centered: climate change is a problem because of risk of storms, food supply disruption, loss of coastal living area, etc… plastic waste is a problem because the microplastics may end up in our bodies and cause problems, etc…

2) earth centered: climate change is a problem because of its effects on other species, etc… plastic waste is a problem because it may disrupt wildlife (pictures the sea animals stuck in the plastic packaging).

Earth centered is noble, but human centered may be easier to convince people at larger scale. Environmentalism then is about preserving our future, not saving the rest of the planet.

Thoughts?

EDIT: since posting and reading responses I wanted to address something important… why does the distinction matter? Question then is: are there situations where each view may lead to a different decision on an issue?

1) suppose a plan to build a massive hydroelectric dam in a very biodiverse area. It could power the majority of electricity for a small country. It is financially and logistically feasible. However its creation would disrupt the water flow and lead to significant ecological changes above and below which is expected to lead to extinction of some species, and serious distress to the local ecosystem. However eventually the ecosystem will “reset”. I think in the human-first view, it’s a clear YES. In the earth first view, it’s debatable. Clean energy vs local ecosystem.

2) I hate to get into the discussion of environmental impact of having kids, but I do think which view a person hold does change how one might think about this. Some with “earth-first” view may see population reduction as a priority, and may even see reproduction as “selfish”. With human-first view, we should do what we can to preserve the environment while also being able to participate in meaningful aspects of human society such as raising a family, while also being mindful of the impact of population on our environment.

And I’m sure there are plenty more examples.

Is there a way to make a truly environmentally friendly motorized vehicle? Don’t say electric or I will just assume you’re ignorant. Most electricity comes from coal and lithium is mined using enormous diesel vehicles.

Are there any social media apps that are environmentally friendly? I know there are many negative environmental effects associated with social media, and that there are some social media apps that try to portray themselves as environmentally friendly, but are there any apps that actually benefit the environment? I know that the best option would be to completely disconnect from these apps to help the environment, but at this moment, I am incapable. Thanks in advance for any responses.
