My interest and dedication to preserve nature, started with engaging myself in WWF in the 90’s, followed by becoming a member of the Green Environmental party in Sweden in 2008 for a couple of years. And in Hawaii 2010, I was a member of, and blogged for, the local organization Kanu Hawaii for a while.

Non-profits. seem more engaged in non-violent action, such as writing petitions, while politics often seem to become self-serving and very much about taking side, just as activism and demonstrations can escalate into mobs, rather than exercising true passion for a cause. I don’t like that. What does wanting to keep nature pristine and clean, have to do with revenge attacks and terrorism? While that too includes pollution and destruction on the environment, it seldom seems advocated in these conflicts, less included in environmental discussions. Why not? Is it naive to think of bombs as means to destroy nature, when in fact stopping them, could be THE way to create peace?

When we apply a green perspective on life, we simply have the environment at the forefront in all our decision making. Just ask: How will this (manufacturing, advertising, distribution, territories, agriculture, education, recreation, communication, living, travel etc) impact the environment? Since all humans are equal naturally, in front of nature’s great powers, such as the oncoming of a tsunami, a hurricane or an earthquake, why can’t we collectively unite, always with this in mind, and let our respect and reverence of nature steer us? To me, this is the epitome of Telluselle Living.
