How To Be An Earth Steward in a Few Easy Steps
There are many facets to being a responsible Earth Steward. An Earth Steward is someone who demonstrates complete integrity and mutual respect; self-respect and respect for all beings and creatures of Mother Earth.
Ahimsa, which in ancient Hindu Sanskrit, means “reverence for life,” is an important integral facet of being an Earth Steward; in other words, ahimsa emphasizes compassion. As a responsible Earth Steward, Ahimsa should be extended to include all beings; two-legged, four-legged, winged, and finned.
A great way to demonstrate ahimsa is to eat a completely organic vegan plant-based diet that is free of all animal protein; meat, dairy, and eggs. Eating a diet free of synthetic toxic additives, chemicals, and pesticides is also a great way to demonstrate Ahimsa. A plant-based vegan diet demonstrates compassion for all animals and an organic diet demonstrates compassion for the environment and eco-systems on Mother Earth. When you make the conscious choice to become an Earth Steward and keep your lifestyle as organic and green as possible, you’re making great strides in protecting Mother Earth.
Did you know that with the amount of water used to produce one hamburger, you could float an entire battleship? Did you know that all the petro-chemical pesticide run-off from agribusiness and factory farms pollutes all the delicate vulnerable bodies of water, which threatens the delicate natural balance of all life? Being an Earth Steward by living green and vegan is more crucial now than ever before on Planet Earth.
Please think about our future generations–the air that they will be breathing and the planet they will inhabit. “Think globally, act locally” is a crucial statement that needs our support.

A shining truth is evident in the above article. The truth behind the simplicity of Healing. The healing that this planet despertly needs from Her children. Each small act of Stewardship will resonate throughout the world. As a writer, an eviromentalist and an Earth lover, I firmly believe that the future of the world lies in the hands of those willing to heal Her.
