I found these paragraphs inspiring enough to share. Just living is praxis when you live mindfully.

100% this. It's not an either-or.

Sure but don't flagellate yourself if you take a plane once per year to see your family who live across the globe in your home country.

I see a lot of comments that make it seem like the burden of the environment falls on you, which is crazy. There are things affecting the climate that absolutely and unfathomably dwarf what you as an individual contribute. Don't get me wrong though, anyone trying to do their part is admirable in doing so, and it'd be nice if more people that are capable of doing so, tried to.

To do my part I pledge to not own a private jet, nor a yacht, nor a fossil fuel company.
