Moving forward with ecology

thoughts on environmental stewardship for the new year

I am considering my habits this past year. In many way’s I had to deal with grief and the struggle to remain environmentally aware of my actions, consumption, and surroundings living in New York City. I remained vegan, with some increase in packaged foods including take out. I felt disappointed in my actions consistently New York has a huge waste issue with over 8 million people, although towards the end of my time in nyc I did get to cook more at home, compost and straighten up my act. Which leads me to where I am today! I’ve gotten deeper into my meditation and along with this practice my sustainable habits naturally shift. We don’t often speak about sustainability and how meditation can have a positive influence on our ecosystem and personal environmental stewardship. However it is a beautiful way to start! Considering that when we connect with our higher self we connect with spirit and we connect with out surroundings. Going forward into the new year (and beyond) I have a feeling that I’ll approaching environmental stewardship from within and reflecting it out and back into my surroundings.
