Consumerism

One of the things in which we feel very strongly about that is certainly part of the path of God and Self realization is taking care of the earth effectively and properly. Toby and I used to carry our re-cyclable junk by bus to recycling points as there were no recycling bins in the area where we live. People ask us why we bother? I was amazed by the question. We put in a request for recycling bins to be installed, and it took months because of red tapes. But eventually, they arrived!

Now that we have moved, there are no re-cycling bins in this estate! Toby has to carry 5-8kg of tins, plastic, glass to the estate 10 mins walk away to do it, this is far easier than traveling by bus to recycling points. We are putting up a request yet again for recycling bins here.

In our modern society, we consume too much of everything. As we were getting ready to move, we had to throw so much stuff, and we are not even the type that shop for pleasure only out of necessity! Why do people consume so much without thinking of the effect it has on the earth? It is certainly out of habit, mass consciousness programming and lack of education.

I believe that 'lightworkers' must do more than just meditate, build light bodies, read spiritual books and so forth, we must be more informed, live by example, educate, practice taking care of the earth (recycle, re-use, consume less, buy less). It is the practical things that we do on earth that counts.

What is a lightworker? Someone who 'lightens' the load of the earth and the people on earth!

I hope this inspires you to do your part for the earth.
