climate change and the natural world, page-15

Change can only occur with the individual.

If a person is an environmental moral crusuder, however has not adjusted their life-style, then they are merely... 'inconsistant'.

To live with less is actually quite refreshing...try it!

Make a 'moral' or 'responsible' commitment.

Reflect on your non-harming, on the benefit you provide to the world and its inhabitants, to future generations, maybe your children and theirs.

This is a source of happiness.

Do not think happiness only comes from possessions and having fun.

If you give the gift of non-harming, that is a very strong and permanent form of happiness.

To be happy is the purpose of life and happiness can be achieved in many ways.

What will happen if climate change affects our economic system?

Just kaos, anarchy and eventual return to authoritarian governments the world has always known.

You only know 'democracy' but this is only something new. Human beings have rarely lived with 'democracy'.

So this current time, of peace and prosperity, is a fortunate time because we have education and choice.
