India, Dharma & Sustainability
Some interesting data by the Global Footprint Network regarding the ecological footprint of countries in terms of ‘number of Earths shows that India is the only country within the G20 economies that is making do with the planet as it stands; the rest are all living as though we have the resources of more than one planet Earth available!
The Earth can support natural human growth and progression but not psychologically dysfunctional consumption.
The focus of sustainability should be an alignment of human lifestyles towards harmony with our environment – this is the essence of Dharma.
