I love Gaia

'Gaia' , The personification of Mother Earth as per Greek Mythology is also called by many many names.

Our planet Earth is part of a small star system, in a tiny galaxy of this universe, but it is our home. We who inhabit this beautiful planet are insignificant as individuals but collectively are inflicting irreversible damage to this home.

The bad news is that at the current rate mankind along with many lifeforms could be in all likely hood be extinct in 100 years. The good news is that current levels of technology, and management can provide us the means to stop further destruction and eventually recover much of what we have lost and are currently losing.

Almost everyone either points a finger at someone else or throw up their hands in despair and frustration. Most people too love this earth and life and are individually concerned and even worried about our environment, but feel helpless to do anything.
How can I as an individual or my family really make a difference? That is a question that we all ask and  find f if any answers.

Yes, as an individual you can do much more than can be imagined.  Many people have pulled up their sleeves and started doing something, in fact anything to save our home and leave to our children a world better than that was bequeathed to us by our parents.

I am more of a thinker and a facilitator and less of a doer, so I decided with the help of my many friends and guides to try and share ways and means to live a healthier, happier and more prosperous life and yet respect our environment.

Working in pooling our knowledge and efforts, the worst outcome of our efforts will result in stopping our slide towards certain extinction, however the best that can happen is that we will reverse the trend, and help Gaia to heal herself, while individually becoming materially, physically and emotionally wealthier.

The first step I feel would be to identify what we can do as individuals, followed by what we can do as families and small groups, then as a community and then as universal citizens.
We would attempt to collate knowledge and wisdom that already exists along with the means to implement that knowledge in your personal lives.

I implore you to be a part of this community and take advantage and contribute your knowledge with others, after all this planet belongs to all of us.
