Ways To Live Sustainably

* Lighten up your load. Clean out your closets, give away anything extra to someone who can use it.

* Shift your priorities so you can spend more time with family, friends, communities and the simple pleasures of the natural world.  Make time to be the human being that you know you can be; unspoiled by fear, hatred and the drive to compete.

* Look for guidance from the children.  Children represent the highest stage of human evolution and they are great teachers.  Re-learn how to cry.

* Volunteer to mentor a young person. Get close to an elder or someone who may have an isolating disability.  Help a neighbor; lend a hand to a farmer.  If you are not a slave to housework, help make a meal, and/or do the dishes for someone who is.

* Embrace the end of life as a farewell gift, a celebration and an opportunity for family and community to come together in a most meaningful way.  Do everything with love.

* Remember, as Philo would say, “be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” Look for the good in everyone.
