Ecological Consciousness as a Muslim
Peace
What does "Ecological Consciousness" mean to you and What does being a Muslim have to do with it??
~~~~~~~
Some believe we are in an "Ecozoic" era or epoch marked by the reintegration of human endeavors into a larger ecological consciousness.
They urge us to participate -- We are at a juncture of civilization. In a time of unparalleled corporate domination, environmental destruction and consumerism, there is a growing spirit that speaks of tolerance, compassion, interdependence and voluntary simplicity.
They say:: the confusion of our time can also offer opportunity. Only when metal is molten can a new die be cast. It is imperative that those who can add their voice and energy towards a more humane world to do so now.

Comments on this journal
come across Gaia theory over the summer tangentially while searching something else - dont know much about it - its intriguing enough for me to find out more as it relates to Ecological Consciousness (EC)
i was interested in EC from an Islamic | Muslim perspective and wanted to know how others constructed|reconciled EC and islam|muslim - hoped people would share some of their lived experiences about the concept
That's my popular culture take on it though, I havent read it in more detail
