The Environment, a Casualty of our Overconsumption, Stands at a Precipice, Necessitating Not Just Awareness But Actionable Change.

I’ve strived to illuminate the dire consequences of our collective adherence to unsustainable practices and the capitalist framework that underpins them.

Through my articles, I aim to spark a revolution of thought and deed, advocating for a society that prioritizes the health of our planet over profit, and communal well-being over individual gain.

This is a call to arms, an invitation to stand together against the tide of environmental and social injustices that threaten our very existence.

I believe that change is possible through unity, education, and the relentless pursuit of justice. By challenging the pillars of capitalism that have led us to this critical juncture, we can begin to forge a new path towards sustainability and equity.

This Compassiviste blog is more than just a collection of posts; it’s a rallying cry for those who dare to imagine a different world – a world where the environment is not an afterthought but a priority, where economic systems serve the many, not the few.

Join me in this crucial conversation and be part of the movement towards a better, healthier planet for future generations.

    Stopping the Capitalist Train

    Cognitive conditioning is a troubling factor of overconsumption. Particularly in the wealthiest and most developed parts of the world, we are acclimatized to guiltless comfort in overconsumption. It becomes difficult to challenge this accepted marker [...]

    Capitalism and Climate

    Climate change is an emerging global concern of this century. As with all prior socio-spiritual matters, it is quickly becoming hijacked by capitalism. As a prime example of this, we need only think of Jesus [...]

    We Are the Power

    Not long ago in human history, when matters became unruly and unsustainable in society, commoners would bond together to overthrow the ruling minority. There were altruistic values that superseded selfish purpose among the commune. Today, [...]

    “I” Versus “Us”

    Somehow humans are not all in this mess of global warming together, because as death tolls and suffering rise due to climate deterioration, the poorest populations are hit hardest. They are much more impacted by [...]

    Any Real Distinction

    Other animals can seem to get along, no matter how different the species may be! Yet humans have a hard time accepting members of their own species. Our conflicts, if we think about them, are [...]

    Carl Sagan’s “Pale Blue Dot” is in reference to a speech we have mostly read a few times, yet it does not get tiring. It was inspired after seeing a picture of Earth from space [...]

    The Publishing Industry and the Environment

    Imagine if we decided to stop purchasing print books. Publishers would not be happy to hear this. The publishing industry has made some promotional efforts to show concern for the environment. But most publishing houses [...]

    Veganism

    One of the arguments against veganism derives from the natural setting. Lions prey on other animals. They eat other animals. Those against veganism suggest we should also live in this fashion and prey on other [...]
