Sustainable Practices for Environmental Leaders
How to Tap Into Your Empathy with Nature
When you were growing up (or even as an adult), did you experience someone being cruel to Nature? For me, it was seeing kids using their BB gun to shoot sparrows off a telephone line or seeing other kids kill dozens of caterpillars grazing on their favorite bush in my neighborhood. What was your experience? How did you respond to it?
When my children were playing outside and wanted to step on an insect, I asked them, “can you make one? If not, respect it and leave it alone.” It seems like for my entire life, I knew the inherent value of every living creature. In the intricate web of life, where every organism has a role to play, it is crucial for us to cultivate empathy for Nature.
When we empathize with Nature, we are motivated to adopt sustainable practices, reduce our ecological footprint and make choices the promote harmony rather than exploitation. #What choices do you make at work or at home that demonstrates your stewardship of Nature?
