Dharma
and Climate: being part of a sacrifice,
how could we respond?
We’re
part of a culture that is sacrificing a
stable climate and the well-being of future
generations for short term gain, short term
convenience and pleasures. There's ongoing
questions as to what values we hold and what
we do to honour those values.
