Pollution Solution(from:back2home)

Today we are living in world which is becoming increasingly polluted. We are gradually turning our entire earth planet into a toxic waste site. Even though so many people are talking about cleaning up the environment, no one is able to do anything to effectively turn the tide of the times towards a cleaner global atmosphere. The forces of greed forge ahead impelling us for the sake of quick material profit to continue polluting our atmosphere more and more and more until it becomes too late.

But there is a solution to the pollution.
This solution requires that we understand the root cause of the pollution. The root cause is that our environment is heavily polluted on the subtle plane, the plane of consciousness. The phenomena we experience on the gross plane are the result of what is there on the subtle plane. Whatever is there on the subtle plane will naturally also be manifested on the gross plane. The subtle pollution is our selfish, greedy desire to lord it over this world as if we were its masters and owners.

So the pollution solution begins with understanding that Krishna or God is the proprietor of everything. In fact, Krishna directly states this in the Bhagavad-gita, that He is the owner and enjoyer of everything. If we clean up our consciousness by understanding, thinking, speaking, and acting in harmony with the principle of Krishna's proprietorship, the external atmosphere of planet earth will naturally, gradually become very clean and nice. Air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, social pollution, etc will be relegated into the history books. The entire earth will be transformed into a paradise. May that day come soon!
