With all the science pointing in the direction of a global travesty. it’s an important issue we need take notice of. This post will be show simple ways you can save the planet immediately. Also pointing out what we can do to make a difference. I hope you learn something here and can be part of the change to make our world a better place for the future of all life on Earth.

Why Is This Happening?

With the rapid rise of temperature on earth since the beginning of the industrial era. The environmental landscape of the world is changing and scientist all agree that humans are having a massive effect on the ecosystems of our planet.

The burning of fossil fuels, burning down forests and the use of transports is sending more C02 back into the atmosphere where it sits underneath the ozone layer protecting our planet from the sun. In-turn this is what’s warming up the planet at an alarming rate.

So it’s now the responsibility of everyone, especially the G20 to take the world in a new direction. A sustainable world that’s healthy for humans to live but also all life, as they’re taking the brunt of humanity growth. This is a simple way you can save the planet immediately.

Below I have comprised the action we need to take to save our planet from preventable man-made problems. Looking After Our Environment Matters and the positives are that we are changing and we are waking up to the changes we have to make but the speed at which we are going to all down the profit and greed from people who are in control to make those decisions.

Now in 2020 after the outbreak of COVID 19. This is the time to make the lasting changes we need to stop the world-changing as we know it. You might say, its a complete overreaction but the data shows it to be true. Ask yourself the question, would you rather prevent something bad happening to you or would rather wait for it to happen to you?

How Can We Save Our Planet

Stop Burning Fossil Fuel And Halt Coal Production

Since the beginning of the industrial era, we have seen a massive rise in the burning of fossil fuels. The consumption of fossil fuels include coal, crude oil and natural gas and it’s no coincidence that rising temperature has occurred since we began this process. There are many positives to the rise and development of humans in the past 100 years because of the use of fossil fuels. With the information we know now this is not sustainable for the health of the planet and ourselves. Governments across the world are starting to realise this and are shutting down all coal activity and now developing the natural energy sector of wind and solar energy. Governments have set measures where they are fading out diesel cars. Now with companies like Tesla developing electric cars. With new technology we can defiantly change our habits of relying on fossil fuels, we just to tackle this issue faster.

Stop Burning Our Forests Down

Forests are being burned down at an alarming rate over the past 100 years for agriculture purposes. With the increasing demand for feeding countries who are rising in economical terms is ever growing with the likes of China and Brazil being at the forefront. This is down to a growing urban population who compared to rural, prefer a more varied diet that includes different meats and dairy. This demand has led to burning down of the Amazon rain forest where major countries had to ask the Brazilian President to halt the burning of the forest for the endangerment to humanity. The burning of the Amazon rain forest not only is releasing c02 back into our atmosphere its also endangering species of animals and even putting the lives at risk of natives for the greed of wealth. The rate of the population of the world is predicted to carry on rising in the coming decades. Agriculture is not sustainable. So either way, we have to come up with a plan of action. The two viable future options are we all have a more plant-based diet or we artificially make our meat which they’re currently trialling successfully. The cost being a hurdle they need to overcome. Maybe we will be eating like the Star Trek franchise soon.

Change To A Plant-Based Diet And We Can Save More Drinkable Water

The world needs to understand that eating meat and dairy the way we do, is not sustainable and a more balanced diet is needed. If we don’t make the changes now there is going to a shortage of food and water soon. Also, the amount of freshwater we use for agriculture is crazy. For example, a one-pound burger requires 1799 gallons of water for it be made. That’s 6809 litres. The average person is expected to drink 2 litres a day. This is crazy. According to the CDC, 780 million people don’t have access to an improved water source and 801,000 children die of diarrhoea because of the cleanliness of their water. The world needs to wake up to the fact we care more about giving fresh water to making food compared to saving a child’s life. With the earth rising in temperature more famines and people dying because of lack of clean water will become a new norm. That’s why we need to act now and slow down our reliance on meat and dairy and focus on making sure every human right has access to clean water.

Conclusion

When we decide to change, we will change. It’s as simple as that. The world we live in, is of course, more complicated than that because people in higher powers have their agenda and mostly live in their 4-year terms in power and with immediate issues. As we started to realise now this is an immediate issue being felt today by our hand. If no change happens then it will get severely worse just like if you keep smoking 10 packs a day you will feel the negatives of it somewhere down the line. When we stop burning fossil fuels, burning down the forest for food and when we utilise water better. These are three things that can have a major impact on our fight for a cleaner, and healthier earth. So let’s invest in clean energy, invest in balancing our diets with less death of animals and use of land and let’s use our freshwater to make sure every human has the right to fresh clean water. By understanding why Looking After Our Environment Matters, then we can make real change. Hopefully these simple ways you can save the planet immediately can have an effect on your life.

The Power Of Forgiving Yourself

The reason I’m writing about The Benefits Of Self-Forgiving Exercises. Is because through most of my life I was so hard on myself. Never letting me off the hook for mistakes or any setbacks. It led me on a downward slide and alienated me from people who cared about my future. This post is a guide to hopefully helping you to stay off the unforgiving path and looking at your mistakes as a positive, not something you had a divine right just to get.

When it comes to forgiving others I found it a lot easier to do. I found it hard to hold a grudge for too long and had to resolve the outcome one way or another. Whether that be opening up a line of communication to solve the issue of forgiving them myself in my way. To go to bed thinking about an issue with someone else was a clear habit I would not allow.

So why would it be easier and more apparent to forgive for but forget the power of forgiving myself? It’s a habit formed many years before realising the effects. Carved and ingrained within our childhood from the people we are closest to and societal factors we live in.

Looking back it’s hard to point out when any of this happened but for sure it happened. For instance, people who can’t forgive others over a long period of time, haven’t learned themselves to forgive others but can easily forgive themselves.

When it hit home for me is when I read about Jack Canfield’s Success Principles book – the chapter of Forgiveness, and understood it consciously for the first time. It made me realise how hard i was on myself, and for the first time in my adult life, it came as a shock – because I have always been forgiving of others, but not of myself. And that’s where the problem lie. After reading that chapter in the book, is when i started addressing the issue. A wave of emotions came to its surface, like it was compressed down in the deepest layers of my being, and only seeping out through my energy. Now it had awoken, and all the things that i didn’t like or wasn’t happy with was out. From there on, the book gave me a way to forgive myself.

How Do I Make This A Habit?

Once A Week Review

Falling back into old habits is so easy to do if there is no attention put on forming the habit. That’s why every week you should touch base with yourself and see how you’re feeling with the choices you have made that week. If you remember you didn’t hit one of your goals and you said to yourself I’m not good enough to do this but didn’t realise at the time. This is a great way to head back and forgive your self for not hitting your intended goal and reaffirm that you are good enough and list how you would change it for next time. How I perform this is by sitting somewhere alone,avoided from distraction and I close my eyes and deal with it within my mind.

Get A Journal

The Benefits Of Self-Forgiving Exercises through a journal

A great way to keep track of when you put yourself down is having a journal to track it. This can be done immediately after you have said and you recognised it or at the end of the day, It’s really important to find patterns to when and why this happens then you can put buffers in place so you don’t have to keep going through the same negative emotions.

Be Conscious Of Your Emotions

Most of the time we are running on autopilot. When it comes to good or bad habits our mind doesn’t care which it should focus on. So we need to make sure our subconscious mind has formed the right habits.

That’s why being conscious of when you are hard on yourself is important in addressing the issue. A great way to do this on the daily is to just ask yourself. How am I feeling in this moment? This will gauge where your at, be it happy or sad. Then if it’s a new emotion, ask again why do I feel this way? The positives of this exercise will allow you to connect with your emotions and start to understand them. This will lead to you having the power to control them, rather than your emotions controlling you.

Final Thoughts

Overall, when we can forgive ourselves that’s when a lot of our negative energy can go away. It’s like an anchor holding us down in our lives that we just can’t lift. If we can release it that’s when we can move forward.

We must understand it and have strategies to overcome it. Sooner rather than later. I challenge you after reading this post to sit down somewhere comfy, grab your favourite hot drink and spend some time with yourself and learn to forgive yourself and become a better and stronger person from your experience so you can have life-changing moments today and in the future.
