Getting involved as individuals not only gets us engaged, it can also <STRONG>create discussion</STRONG> where none existed, as in your example. If you hadn't followed up with the emails, the people at the recycling depot would be none the wiser.Rory Williamshttp://www.carbonsmart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31006871.post-53662688930652322822008-03-19T09:32:00.000+02:002008-03-19T09:32:00.000+02:002008-03-19T09:32:00.000+02:00One of the things this post highlights for me is the seperation we experience as humans from the Earth. With this seperation, doing these things will always be 'a responsibility', which then easily becomes someone else's responsibility. When we realise that we ARE the earth, that as humans we are made from this planet and exist as one of the expressions of life on the Earth - then it becomes easy to see that when we heal ourselves, we heal the Earth. We change our habits not because of an environmental crisis, but because this is what makes us whole. When I say 'us' I refer to ourselves, the Earth and every expression of life that is part of it.Gavin Marshallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11707345195020673647noreply@blogger.com
