What’s more important, climate disruption or sustainable living…?
We live in Central America, and many indigenous people still live a sustainable lifestyle, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. We are trying to develop an educational and research centre that will be 100% sustainable and nature-positive (www.Seahorsepoint.org). One of the objectives will be to work with indigenous people to provide them with some of the tools they need to revert back to a non-polluting lifestyle in harmony with nature.
High-income countries have completely failed to be sustainable, and if you are not sustainable, then there will be an end point when everything crashes down. This has already started, and it will become increasingly difficult to sustain the current lifestyle. In effect, it is inevitable that it is going to crash.
There is still time for high-income countries to change to one that just consume what it needs rather than what it wants, but I doubt this will happen.
Getting back to the question, What’s more important, climate disruption or sustainable living…? The answer is, they are both the same: if we live a sustainable life, we also stop climate destruction.
