“People save straws to save the fish, but they continue eating fish”.
The words she says, how she buys, how she acts, eats, talks, the consciousness she puts in everything she does, is coherent.
And suddenly, things that you have really never thought about, become obvious.
Like buying VRAC, instead of buying things in packages and plastic…
Like buying from the farmers and other producers and craftmanship next door, instead of
things that have been produced in miserable conditions.
Like going into supermarkets, buying cheap, without thinking about the consequences of our choices.
Have we ever really thought about why we always need to buy so much?
For what, for whom, why?
In spending 14 days with Valeria on Mallorca, I get shown the example how it feels in living in total reflection of all we consume, all we do, starting with the daily yoga-meditation morning routine, being aware of where we put our staff, HOW, getting into the reflecting of water-consumption, not using running hot water for cleaning dishes, using napkins out of tissue… Using all of the food we have (the rest goes on the compost) and so on. Almost nothing goes into waste if we reflect on this before buying!!! We just need to be organized, with chars, little tissue bags to put the stuff we buy in…
I feel that it is still a long way to go for humanity, as we’re so unaware of so many things, but there is a path leading to this, that we are all invited to walk, if we won’t the actual current situation of destruction to stop. Let’s walk our talk, definitely, in all domains!
I’m super happy about this video with my wonderful friends Valeria, who has always been such a great inspiration for me. And so happy too, to have led this inspiring video together with Catharina Roland, the filmmaker of the Awake-Movie, the initiator of the New Earth Manifesto, that we co-created and keep co-creating together with Bénédicte Fumey from France and Valeria, in collaboration with over 200 wonderful people, who think, feel, act and dream the same world. It is an invitation to go for the highest we can imagine!
