The concept of Evolve the Planet Foundation was a natural response to the devasting effects of climate change, the melting of the polar Ice caps, the disappearing of our rainforests (Earths Lungs) and so many other kinds of degradation which we inflict on the planet (and each other). In many cases the damage we as an industrialized race have produced, has resulted (in some cases) to irreversible damage, such as the extinction of plants and animals, polluted eco-systems and of course the brutal acts we do to one another in the name of religion or greed or some other material pursuit.
We seek to affect a change first, within ourselves, then outwardly to our communities and the world. From Environmental clean-up to cooperating and educating local businesses, as well as communities and corporations around the globe, so they can learn how to reduce their carbon footprint, cut emissions and toxic waste and contribute to the health and abundance of the planet and all living creatures.
A ‘consumerism’ economy and a ‘competition-based’ society, can only have two outcomes;
1) The consumption and destruction of all of the planet’s natural resources.
2) A vast separation between the Have’s and Have-nots. Power and wealth to an elite few and poverty for the rest of us.
Cleansing & balancing our own inner ecology; ie., mind, body and Soul allows us to transmit that wholistic state of Love, peace and compassion into our outer worlds. First in our homes, then our communities and out into the world at large.
It's difficult to create peaceful, sustainable, abundant lives using old outdated primitive & sometimes brutal methods of the early industrial age. We're addicted to our out dated means of creating and delivering energy to the point where we almost missed the fact that we're killing the planet.
We have the technology to build eco-friendly infrastructures and produce more efficient forms of energy. To live in harmony with one another AND the planet. There CAN be equality, Abundance and sustainability. we simple need to work together. To pave the way for a sustainable tomorrow.
As an individual you might say, well, what can I do? GREAT! Your AWAKE and asking the right questions!
With the turmoil and strife that most of us live with on a daily basis in our fast paced concrete societies, its hard to think that we can make a difference.
BUT WE CAN.
It starts with ME. Then You.
Then before you know it all agriculture is permaculture and energy is sustainable.
(XXXXXXEDIT EDIT EDIT---XXXXXXXXSacred Ecology?)
However, putting a band aid on these issues does nothing to ensure that Humanity itself does no parish.
When we truly recognize this connection to each other we treat each other with and balancing our energy bodies, ecologies, then transmitting that holistic wellness, sustainability to our outer ecologies, communities etc. We all do this in a different way and whatever spiritual pursuit you endeavor to practice is great, the point is, to come back to a place where we feel our connection to each other, the planet and all living creatures.
Whatever spiritual pursuit that resonates with you becomes YOUR Sacred Ecology.
EVERYTHING we do in our lives, effects the eco systems we live in, our relationships to one-another and the planet at large. That's why we feel that it is imperative to develop alternative living styles, wholistic diet and healing, as well as societal and financial models that will allow Humanity to not only continue, but to thrive in Harmony, Peace and Abundance for ALL OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE, great and small.
When we cultivate a sense of SACREDNESS within ourselves, a sense of peace and compassion for one-another, then that state of being gives rise to a life that is full of health, vitality, meaning and purpose.
This state of peace, harmony, flow & balance as well as abundance and longevity are attainable through the practice of all spiritual traditions, as long as they are altruistic in nature and include Love & Compassion. Even better, practices that connect you to mother earth and your fellow humans will have an even greater positive effect on the whole.
Regardless.... we have to do this together.
We have the technology. We have the means. The choice is up to us.
