I think a big problem is that many people have been conditioned to forget about our connection to the Earth. They don't see it as our home, and that we're destroying our only home. I think a lot of people are unaware of this and see the land as a place to get resources -- Or they don't think that the problems will come in their lifetime, and sadly they don't care about the future of the human race.

I think a lot of people are born into families who are already disconnected from the Earth, and that disconnection is passed down. The general population seems to be much more concerned in their personal bubbles, work-life, paying bills, getting a house... stuck in the system. Blinded by the media.

Most people spend their entire days locked in their small box-like apartments or houses, then put shoes on before they leave the house, disconnecting them from the actual Earth, and then get into box-like cars and drive to box-like cubicles where they stare into screens all day long. Then back to their box-homes and into the TV set.... Sadly, there isn't much time to get in touch with nature in the mainstream lifestyle today, unless you make it a top priority. So sadly, I can see where all the problems are coming from.

I think we need to make this problem more mainstream and make more people aware of the amazingness of Mother Earth, and come to terms with the fact that she is our one, and only, home, and how we NEED HER. She doesn't need us. We need to start helping to open people's eyes to this disconnection and give more gratitude and love to the Earth.

So thank you for this post. It is getting more conversation started on this topic and will hopefully get more people to start questioning things. To open their eyes and breath in the abundance of fresh air and awaken to the magic all around us and realize the importance in protecting it.
