We need to judiciously use our planet’s resources, ensuring a balance between sustainability & development. The Art of Living is continuously engaged in river rejuvenation, organic farming, tree plantation, solar energy & other earth-friendly projects. Every section of society should focus on reducing consumerism & developing a responsible attitude towards the environment.

All the ancient cultures around the world have honoured Nature. Plants, rivers, and mountains have always been revered. Rivers were worshipped as mothers and the Earth was regarded as a Goddess. This attitude of treating Nature as sacred needs to be revived in modern times.

In reality, human greed and callousness are the root cause of pollution. The greed for quick and large profits severely disrupts the ecological balance, and not only polluted the physical environment, but also stimulates negative emotions on a subtle level.

We need to revive the traditional practices that foster our connection with nature. People should be encouraged to have reverence for the planet, to treat people as sacred, and to see God in Nature. This will foster sensitivity. Only a sensitive person can care for nature and nurture the environment.
