While more people are coming to the understanding that we do, in fact, have environmental problems we are facing -- the question remains: are we responding to them in the best ways? There are an abundance of environmental campaigns thriving daily. Now more and more people want to act to protect and safeguard our natural habitat. New enterprises are being created to "assist" with these causes. Some citizens concentrate on relatively few areas, like recycling or solar energy. Others will support just about any product, company, or effort that has the word "green" affiliated with it. The point is many of us are trying to do something to help - but are we helping? One must ask if all these well intentioned efforts are aimed at supporting a coordinated end result. Ecology has fast become a commonplace word in everyday conversations of late. It applies to the scientific study of the relationships of organisms with each other within their environment. What ecology shows us is that things are constantly changing, not because they really change, but because of what happens when different things interact with one another. Our ability to endure is dependent upon our planet's ability to sustain all life forms together. A balanced approach is essential to successfully accomplish this task. Ecology has revealed to us that an unbalanced ecosystem is one in which the life forms within it could transform to such a degree that its very existence is put at risk. So, when we focus on one particular environmental issue, like recycling, are we treating the symptom, or the cause? This is not to belittle the many people who work diligently for their pet environmental causes, for example, recycling. But is that solving the problem we have to begin with? A comedy show a few years ago made fun of hybrid cars, pointing out the money they supposedly save you on fuel is actually used in their manufacturing. It was no doubt a good idea but one that needed more work as it didn't completely reflect a balanced approach to environmental concerns. There is an expression originated with Native Americans that essentially says that when we make decisions we should make them with distant generations in mind. This same thinking seems to underlie what NXIVM and its founder, Keith Raniere, stand for, and suggests that the world's problems need to be addressed by a new type of thinking. Taking that a bit further, what are the ways we can address an issue like recycling that truly gets to the root of the issue? Is it possible there is a different way of addressing the issue that embraces a new kind of thinking? If that were the case, exactly what would be needed to get us there? Is there a more responsible approach we can take to the issue of waste that extends beyond just recycling? By now is should be obvious that we need to look beyond the surface of environmental issues to generate approaches that are balanced and effective for sustaining a healthy planet.
