Reduce Your Carbon Footprint : 7 Instant Ways - CO2 Living

I was reading this article on “reducing carbon footprint” and ways of doing so, when it struck me that whilst we may be blaming the climatic changes on “Global Warming” nobody is actually interested in making a change to their lifestyle that would not only reduce global warming but also provide a healthier lifestyle. We are addicted to our unhealthy lifestyle choices that we simply don’t want to give up. So the root cause of the Global Warming that we are witnessing is our own callousness.

It doesn’t need intelligence to see that the present mess is the consequence of the past callousness and that the future would be the consequence of the present callousness.

Callousness is the virus responsible for this Global warming and it is even worse than COVID-19 pandemic since all of us are infected but are unaware of it since there is no RT-PCR test for callousness. However, the problem can be tackled provided there is collective will to tackle it and the vaccine in this case is self administered by changing to a carbon reducing lifestyle for each one of us…

There is no simple way, you simply have to educate yourself and discipline yourself to follow a low carbon footprint lifestyle. 

But wait! that involves change! “Change” is even a bigger problem! So what do we do? Look the other way, lead our lives as we know best and leave the problem for the generations to come…

Now here is the funny part: As per the theory of Karma and rebirth, what is biting you in the ass today is your own past doing…and the generations to come are our own souls being reborn to deal with the mess that has been created.

So the past mess is haunting us in our present lives and our inaction on dealing with it, or worse still, adding our two bits to it, will haunt us even more in our next lives. That is inescapable karma.

So wake up, smell the coffee and get over the callousness to transform your lifestyle to an environment friendly one by reducing your carbon footprint. It will not only give you a healthier life in the present one but would also provide your next lives avataars with a reduced carbon habit pattern, lesser mess to deal with and a great environment to live in…
