736. Om mukti-dayai namah: I bow down to Amma who gives Liberation
I know how much Amma tells us to respect Mother earth and now when I read this, it just makes me realise how much Amma is doing to make the world a better place for all of us. Amritapuri is being made into a zero waste space. We're all being told to become more responsible for this place we call home!
"In one of her talks, Amma said that, because plastic is so prevalent in the world nowadays, birds are even starting to use waste plastic to build their nests! Also, in some of the more polluted areas of the Pacific Ocean, marine animals easily mistake plastic for food, which often leads to death because it cannot be digested. And the huge “garbage patch” in the Pacific ocean is a sad legacy of our lack of wisdom and foresight in dealing with our waste. Amma teaches that each of us, by being more thoughtful about what we purchase and throw away, can make a big difference.
Under Amma’s guidance, the Plastic Project has branched out to teaching the knitting, weaving and crocheting skills to local women.
By recycling plastic into desirable goods, we not only prevent some plastic from polluting the natural environment and raise money for good causes, but most importantly we raise awareness about the plastic problem. This project has really opened eyes of many to what is possible with a little bit of imagination!"
