292: The environment is the outward manifestation of our beliefs

Here are the notes I read from for this episode:

• Outward manifestation
• Been saying lately
• When you see pollution, dingy skies, sea levels rising
• Any one person listening may not have
• But if American, likely more than nearly anyone
• Less technological, more social and personal
• Results from our behavior, from our choices
• From our beliefs, stories, images, desires
• Opposite would be stewardship, caring about others first, service
• Why leadership matters
• Crazy part is harmony with nature simplifies life
• Creates joy, community, connection
• Not about guilt or shame, just perspective
• In all fairness, some past systems
• I'm just like everyone else. When I think of something fun and polluting, I think, maybe it won't matter, the plane was flying anyway
• That's the cause of global warming and our climate problems
• Maybe I'll get away with it. Maybe my contribution won't count
• You can blame it on lots of things, but that attitude and ones like it are at the root of that behavior
• The outward manifestation of that thought is pollution
