As humans, although many of us might feel ourselves to be alone or separate from others, we share this planet in coexistence with countless other creatures. And because of the very nature of our being, we are always constantly influencing all of those with which we coexist. In other words, we contribute to the creation of this earthly experience with our every breath. But, despite this inherent ‘power’, many of us do not know how to, or feel empowered to, make a real positive change in this world, fearing our efforts are meaningless in the larger scheme of things.
Cleaning Up Our Act
Every day millions and millions of tons of trash get dumped into local landfills across America. Not everything that goes into the landfills is biodegradable, meaning it will never break down. Too many things go into landfills that are toxic and dangerous. Imagine, if you will, having to carry the load of every trash bag you ever sent to the dump. Now, imagine the loads getting heavier and being passed on to the kids and grandchildren. We must consider what we are leaving them.
