            Excerpt from THE WORLD WE HAVE: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology by Thich Nhat Hanh

"We are like sleepwalkers, not knowing what we are doing or where we are heading.  Whether we can wake up or not depends on whether we can walk mindfully on our Mother Earth.
[...]
If we continue to live as we have been living, consuming without a thought to the future, destroying our forests and emitting greenhouse gases, then devastating climate change is inevitable.
[...]
We need a kind of collective awakening... the masses are still sleeping. They cannot hear the ringing of the bells. We have built a system we cannot control. We have become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer... In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over some seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will be killed.
[...]
We have to have another dream: the dream of brotherhood and sisterhood, of loving-kindness and compassion and that dream is possible right here and now. We have the dharma; we have the means; we have wisdom to be able to live this dream. Mindfulness is at the heart of awakening, of enlightenment. We practise breathing to be able to be there in the present moment, so that we can recognize what is happening in us, and around us.
[...]
We do not have to sink into despair about global warming; we can act. Urgent action must be taken at the individual and the collective levels. We all have a desire to be able to live in peace and environmental sustainability. It is time for each of us to wake up and take action in our own lives."

- Thich Nhat Hanh
