Environment, Harmony and Balance
Environment, Harmony and Balance
April 15, 2021
One week from now, Earth Day will be acknowledged. Has there been progress environmentally since the initial Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd of 1970? Depending on the direction in which one looks, the answer to that question is both “yes” and “no”.
What is clear, however, is that the potential for progress is unlimited and the need is gigantic!
A renowned humanitarian leader continues to emphasize repeatedly: “Mother nature and humans are in an agitated state.”
As an example: Among the hundreds of volcanos worldwide, between 50 and 70 are variably active, any one of which could exhale a plume which would cause a global artificial winter. Volcanic particulates in the air are already dimming sunlight and adding to the potential for larger hailstones.
Globally, extreme weather events are ongoing including: torrential rain, flooding, hail, tornadoes, record snowfalls. Numerous low grade earthquakes appear to be producing multiple sinkholes.
Concurrently, in humanity’s interaction with nature, sustainability is becoming increasingly recognized as essential. Where there is imbalance caused by wasteful use of Earth’s abundant resources, increasing attention is being placed on recovery and reuse.
Energy storage systems are becoming transformed. Numerous new developments are being integrated into a potential future. The effectiveness and longevity potentials are yet to be determined. Old technologies are being superceded rapidly. All this points to new levels of renewable energy storage systems — and thus more widespread application of sustainable renewable energy.
Through these innovations technology is serving nature — rather than dominating nature. It is this fundamental shift in attitude which is beginning to contribute to harmony and balance environmentally.
Everything we humans do to serve nature also serves us. All of our activities, whatever they are, take place on the planet which sustains us. Increasing harmony and balance environmentally mirrors to us the possibility for the enhancement of our own well-being. There is no disconnect from nature, regardless of the blinders some may choose to wear. Our well-being and Earth’s well-being are intertwined.
Although it is obvious that “mother nature and humans are in an agitated state”, those who choose harmony are the forerunners within the potential for progress.
