What are we doing about it?

We are draining the resources of Mother Earth and there is a shortage of food for the big creatures, since we are devouring their food. Do you know that krill, the staple food of whales is in short supply? Who is to blame but us? Krill has the highest level of Omega 3 and we must have it to enjoy longevity and good health. Have you ever seen a dead penguin, which died of starvation? I have in Argentina, because we have out fished the ocean. They eat krill, sardine, anchovies, squids, and fishes. Their favorite food is krill, squids and fishes. All the fish restaurants tempt us with fresh catch.

We grow almonds because they are good for us, but they need a great deal of water for their cultivation. California is going dry and there are more forest fires. Poachers are killing the big beasts; dynamite is being used to catch fish. Hunters are paying enormous amounts for shooting bears, elephants, rhinos and lions. The rainforest cover is shrinking, and each gorilla needs nine to fourteen square miles. We are destroying the habitat by planting palms for their oil.

What can we do?

We can start thinking more about the earth and reduce our carbon footprints. We are composed of five elements, earth, water, fire, air and ether and so is our cosmos. By purifying our elements within us, it is possible to save ourselves, and save the universe. Purification leads to heightened awareness and atmabhava.
