Having an environmental sensibility has
been something in me since I was a child, not even something taught thoroughly
or by having some extensive eco-touring experiences or wildlife encounters.
Though these things are more in my intentions today, when Earth Day comes
around, I wonder about how alternative and sustainable people actually want to be,
versus symbolic victories, gestures, or corporate schemes for profit.
No doubt… as intended by posting this
after Earth Day, every day, should be a ‘Earth Day’ – or more
simply, a mentality and actions that shows respect or reverence for the planet
itself (among the celestial bodies like the Sun) that we exist on and that's keeping
us alive. I'll
address the actual environmental challenges we face at later
date, but the principles for Ecological Economics are clear for implementing whenever people, locally and en masse, are ready for it.
To wrap up, there doesn’t have to be a
pessimistic view of that holiday, as it can be an easy way to spread environmental
awareness. Also, one of the best parts of for me, regarding alternative energy
specifically, is that really smashes on the fatalist mentality, as economic
pressure and scarcity would make a
person of that ilk think we’re destined to die out quickly as a human culture, locking
into “the world is ending” rants. So it’s fine to have a day that can counter
that ignorance, even if some corporate models may just like at it as one day to Go
Green for good publicity, because the education does get out authentically for
people to practice green economics, take sustainable actions, look into technology
that can make like convenient when it’s localized, and much more points that
would make this post very long-winded than it already is.
The only
thing is, that it doesn’t need to be treated like Xmas, or the year-end’s
holiday season; people and the natural world need be in accordance and in symbiosis with one another, that’s the
progression intended, not just symbolically on one day with festivals. Just that
mentality even before action is a good
deal.
