Seeking balance . . .

Green? I don’t mean the ‘green’ that product manufacturers are misusing to get us to buy their products, which somehow convince consumers that by buying ‘green’ products they have satisfied their commitment to protecting the environment. Sorry, we don’t get off that easily.

I’m talking about the broader scope that only comes from not ‘abusing’ the planet for our personal gain and comfort. Notice I used the term ‘abusing’. We can live on this planet perfectly happy and prosperous without destroying it as we have been known to do.

Sustainable living is a concept that has been in practice since the Stone Age, although they just saw it as surviving. Our machines are ‘using up’ this planet beyond its ability to repair itself. This practice needs to slow down in order to give the planet a chance to rest. By doing so, it is my belief that, we can live in harmony with it for a lot longer than we would otherwise.

We can celebrate what nature gives us and live with it without over-using it for personal greed. Humanity must come to an agreement on what that balance is and maintain that balance for the future of our children and grandchildren.

Only then will be able to say we are ‘green’.

The scope of this blog will consider the future (sustainable living), the now (renewable energy) and the past (what we have done to the environment).

About

Exploring the struggle to escape the tyranny of fossil fuels, wading through and dispelling 'green' advertising, while peacefully, non-destructively, co-existing with nature.
