The green movement isn't about limit or lack to me.
It's about respect.
Why should MY footprint on this planet harm other people, animals, environments and creatures? Future creatures as well....
The choices I make should be congruent with the level of my soul's maturity. The smarter my soul gets the less I need to be showy, flashy...keep up with the Joneses. The smarter my soul gets the less material "things" mean to me.
That's not to say my choice is to live an ascetic life, though I have no judgement against people that make that choice. It just means that just because I can afford things, doesn't mean I should buy them all. Just because I am a millionaire doesn't mean I have to assume the stereotypical millionaire wasteful lifestyle. Just because interest rates have dropped and the bank tells me I can afford a half million dollar home that I should have a half million dollar home. Or need a half million dollar home. Imagine if everyone had my sense in the last year? Our economy would be a lot stronger now.
It's about respecting Gaia, ourselves and the other species of the planet. It has nothing to do with lack of abundance.
