Life in harmony

What does it mean to live in harmony with our planet?
What does it mean to live in harmony with our own bodies?
How can we reasonably maintain a balance between fitness, health and our environment?

We, as a species, are under pressure by our environment to define a new way of existing that suits our role in the planet as the apex species. We are omnivores, so we can eat almost anything. We are intelligent, so we can design and build things that affect our environment. We are curious, so we feel the urge to understand the circumstances and science that make the world around us. We are driven by our desire to be secure, safe and well fed. We've existed with little need to understand how our choices imact our environment and our health. However, its become clear that as our population grows, our choices have a real impact. Whether our individual choices have a positive or negative impact, they are amplified by our sheer numbers. The smallest quantity of a toxic chemical compound used to clean the toilet once a month isn't toxic - until everyone in the neighborhood buys the Costco-sized container and uses it with the same frequency. It is time for our species to consider our responsibility to the planet. We are intelligent - the only species with the intelligence to help save our planet. As such, we are compelled to do so.

How does this change happen?
One person, one decision, one small step at a time.
With so much great information about food choices, fitness options, and green choices, how are we to make sense of the things that have the greatest impact? The first step is to understand and define our priorities. We must prioritize the things that drive our lives in a way that better coincides with our core human needs. We must consider the sacrifices that we need to make to save our lives and our planet. I will share my knowledge, explorations and experiences in the pursuit of a more harmonious existence.
