16 Eco-Conscious Ways to Be a Compassionate Person
Apathy. To me, it’s much more harmful than anger or bigotry.
When we’re apathetic, we don’t care about ourselves, other people, and the world around us. Apathy is a state of deadness, lack of concern, disinterest and absence of emotion. In fact, apathy is actually the antithesis of love, not hatred. Hatred, at least, still has some kind of emotional investment, unlike apathy.
Looking around at the state of our planet today, it’s clear that apathy (and also ignorance) is a huge issue that we're struggling with. Our oceans are being over-fished and polluted by our garbage; our land is being poisoned, exploited and stripped of its biodiversity; our animals are being exterminated, poached and abused; our food is full of artificial pollutants and GMO’s; our climates are changing, our virgin forests are dying, our economies are collapsing, our world is becoming overpopulated.
It’s about time for a change. And that change can start with you.
Adopting a more eco-conscious way of living is the only way we can hope to reverse what we’ve done to the earth. Not only that, but eco-conscious living helps you to save money, improves your health and well-being, and inspires others to live more compassionately.
