extreme sports are nice but it kind of get strange with “extreme power yoga”. ecology is that something just for the rich ? I can go into a shop and buy biodynamic food. this kind of food takes more resources and the outcome is less compared to big farms with a lot of pesticides. but if you take a guy who is starving does he really care if the food he gets is biodynamic or not genetically modified ?
“ According to the World Health Organization, hunger is the gravest single threat to the world’s public health ”
to clear things up genetically modifed crops have a very close resemblance to the way crops have been altered all the way through human history. If we through gm technology can make a plant that will survive in a desert but produce a harvest that is comparable to one in Germany for example that could make nobody starve to death. Even if there is a slight risk for dying would you not take it rather than starve to death for sure ? 25 000 people are dying every day from hunger. If you read this you are probably one of the lucky few who are so fortunate that you have food on the table and a bed to sleep in.
Sometimes it feels like the truth is so easy and straightforward we miss it. I have been to yoga retreats and places were they say they care for the environment but it more feels like museums than something that is actually inline with what really works for the environment. There a x billion people in the world now and if people can do yoga in their own houses from a broadcast through the internet that saves a lot of fossil fuels. You travel half way across the world in a jet flight to get your enlightment in India. Are we really seaking enlightment or do we get lost in all the beatiful postcards ?
Do you have this feeling deep inside that something is wrong even if everyone looks happy on TV ?
We go to yoga, pilates and similiar but what is the urge we actually have ? We already have the car, the tv, the console, the washing machine etc. etc. is it not time for us to think about what we can do for the ones who does not have what we have.
