The Earth changes when it stops being something outside ourselves.
This is an angle of the thought behind the BGlobal name, just being the Earth. It is, ...just us.
So, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about sustainability, I even studied it in a PhD academic environment for 2 years, the love was such. But I keep returning to this something much simpler, that syncs towards my original thought. And God know, it surely is not a thought of "mine". Truly, a very old wisdom.
But the relation to the sustainability sector is, and that is what is so nice the observe: -> it is difficult to care deeply for something we feel separate from, right? We need to feel it and embrace it deeply.
When we spend time in nature and begin to feel that we belong here too, something changes. The Earth is no longer only something we need to protect. Nature also gives something back to us.
It grounds us and gives us space.
Sometimes it simply helps us breathe.
And perhaps that is what I had been looking for all along. Connection. Not only with the Earth, but with myself, ourselves and with the world we are part of. You know this feeling, inhaling deeply and for that moment, it is all u.
Maybe sustainability begins much closer to home than we think.
The next time you are outside, try not to make it productive. Notice where you are, what is around you, and how it feels simply to be there.
And, to be embraced by your nature, wherever that is.
Kind regards, take care ,
