Eco Consciousness Starts From Home

I firmly believe that our ethics was heavily molded in our childhood years. These were the years when we have no idea how to act in this crazy, heavily-laden with issues world so we just took after our supposedly role models i.e adults around us. It’s funny how hard we deny our caregivers’ characteristics—even despise at times—and yet be able to carry them to our own adulthood. It’s because these characteristics are deeply embedded in our own subconscious minds that if reflex has it, it will certainly come out unabashed.

It was also said that the earliest you can train your child of certain things, the better he or she will absorb the things you want them to perceive. This may be true and with this I also hope the next generation to be more eco conscious than the generation we are living right now since together with us, our kids are the ones experiencing the many diverse effects of climate change, global warming and other eco-related issues.

Endangered But Still Eaten By Man

There’s never a shortage of food when it comes to human consumption. In reality, humans can eat anything they want no matter how gross or weird a particular food may be. As they say, it’s only in one’s mind. In the animal kingdom, eating is associated with survival of the fittest especially amongst the carnivore groups. It’s because most of these animals don’t have to be conscious eaters unlike humans who must think before he eats. This must also be the reason why we don’t condemn predator animals when they happen to kill or eat an endangered species. On the other hand, humans are born with both mind and conscience, although some of us choose to ignore it.

Given this power of choice, we should be wise enough to know the consequences of our actions. According to studies conducted by environmental groups, the top three reasons why people choose to eat endangered animals instead of those readily available for them are: tradition, poverty and plain arrogance. Although local authorities are now moving to restrict these unlawful activities, endangered animals are still being consumed at an alarming rate causing them to go further to near-extinction.
