Lack Of Environmental Awarenss Among Sikh Youth

[singh_soldier]

Climate problems, environment issues, peak oil, energy shortages are one of the most important events of our times. It effects the life of every person in the world.

I feel as sikhs we are being lazy into taking this matter seriously. We are just too busy in getting academic degrees, but are unable to see the BIGGER picture.

Sikhs do have a hero!

I have met Nirmala Baba Balbir Singh Ji - they are absolutely awesome - pure Nishkaam Sevadaar.

They have many green projects going on in Punjab - if you go to India - visit the Gurdwara in Sultanpur Lodhi which is on the banks of the very river that Guru Nanak Dev Ji disappeared in when they entered Akaal Purkhs Darbaar.

yeah and which sikh country would this effect in the long run?

[Jujhar Singh]

clearly, India?

india is already in the the drain as far as environment is concerned.

What I am trying to say is that the sikh youth need to see the BIGGER picture. The greed of the rich people, big corporations puts pressure on the "democratic" governments to do immoral invasions. The wars against "terror" are more of wars for oil.

We need to understand how this world is working ( Maoists know it very well).

The freedom of Punjab, the fight against false sadhs and sants is linked with environmental issues, energy shortages.

Dude, we talk or we act - people like Bhagat Puran Singh Ji and Baba Balbir Singh Ji acted on environmental issues - these are the sort of people we should support - esp financially.

The best of raising environmental awareness amongst sikhs is for them to get involved. Awareness alone means nothing, many people have 'Internet Awareness' but do nothing except moan.

Those who really don't speak, they act.

The whole world is ours, we need to take care of it. "Pavan Guru, Pani Pita, Mata Dharat Mahat..."

yea, and we need to start making our Guru-Ghars GREEN, SIMILAR TO NIHANG CHAUUNIS.

Guru ghars shud have beautiful gardens where food can be grown. The sangat shud be served with FRESH FOOD, instead of the poisonous food we get in big cities.
