As reported in the UN News, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, stated in no uncertain terms that the planet is rapidly reaching a point of no return. “For too long, humanity has cut down the Earth’s forests, polluted its rivers and oceans, and ploughed its grasslands into oblivion.” In his address to mark World Environment Day, he warned that we are “ravaging the very ecosystems that underpin our societies. And in doing so, we are just depriving ourselves of the food, water, and resources we need to survive.”
Guterres went on to say that the degradation of the natural world is already undermining the well-being of 3.2 billion people, no fewer than 40 percent of humanity. “Luckily the Earth is resilient. But she needs our help.”
The time to act is now. But what can we as individuals do to help the Earth recover from human beings’s heavy hand of destruction?
Sadhguru speaks about the importance of soil as a key to maintaining a balanced ecosystem and stresses the need to restore this balance.
