“What is the single most important thing we could do to be “Green”?


I was reading the Green group comments on Linkedd in;
the question was asking for ideas on the single thing that each of us can do to help the planet?
Great question, but what is the best answer? Recycling? Growing your own food? Community action?

Well, I like this one;

“Develop the art of reflection. Ask yourself who am I? What am I doing here? What is important to me? What is my impact on others?
Keep asking yourself this every day.
When we discover who we truly are for ourselves and for others our perspectives change considerably. When you realise what is most important are relationships and community...your footprint on the planet will reduce naturally.”
(Dave Harvey)

Mostly we don't question our motives for our activities enough, if at all, or only very infrequently.
We just get sucked into doing things that maybe we simply don't need to do. We may find ourselves doing them just because it is expected of us, because everyone else is doing them and on it goes.

My father used to say; “If everyone went and jumped in the lake, would you follow them? No?So, don't just follow everyone, do your own thing.”

I would like to add my thought and comment here which was;
“Act now, whatever you do, start it today. Don't delay.”

Goethe said,
“Whatever you dream of doing, begin it now.” That boldness and action towards dreams has magic, genius and power in it.

So, whatever it is you can do, try to begin it, today.
